Publisher's Description

United States Hispanic/Latino voices have emerged in the last ten years to become one of the strongest and most creative theological movements in the Americas. Fully ecumenical and organized in systematic, collaborative framework, this major volume features Hispanic theology's sources (the Bible, church history, cultural memory, literature, oral tradition, pentecostalism), loci (urban barrios, Puerto Rico, exile, liberation, social sciences, Latina feminists), and rich and vigorous expressions (mujerista theology, popular religion, theopoetics). Contributors include: Yamina Apolinaris Guilbert Cadenas Orlando Espín Franciso García-Treto Justo González Otto Maduro Elena Olazagasti-Segovia Harold J. Recinos José David Rodríguez Fernando F. Segovia Maríia Pilar Aquino Ana Maríia Díaz-Stevens Ismael Garcia Roberto Goizueta Ada María Isasi-Díaz Daisy Machado Sandra Mangual-Rodríquez Ana Maríia Pineda Jeanette Rodríquez Samuel Solivan Hispanic/Latino Theology not only celebrates the full flowering of U.S. Latino work, it also splendidly reveals the exciting possibilities and future shape of contextual theologies in close touch with the daily realities of struggling people.
