Doing Theology Latinamente

History & Biography

“As a living example of teología de conjunto, that is, theology done as a community, a community concerned about action in the face of injustice, this well-researched work by someone who has sat in the dean's chair provides a much-needed history of the role that key individuals and institutions played in creating a movement, demonstrating that good theology is not done in a vacuum. Rivera-Rodríguez keenly draws from social movement studies to show the relationships between the particular and the universal, between the insider and the outsider, and between churches and social justice.”

Handmaid

Women

“"As a challenge to readers which do not take seriously the contributions of women, [this work] is a gift for the entire church, not only because of its fine scriptural exegesis but because it demonstrates how people from oral cultures have a particular insight into reading the Bible. It is destined not only to signal a new Mariology from an African perspective, but one which retells the story of the Maiden of Nazareth whose self gift, far from being passive, marks a vibrant agency worth emulating. Kudos to Mbonu!”

New Frontiers in Guadalupan Studies

History & Biography

“Drawing from the recent Guadalupan scholarship of historians, as well as integrating the fruit of contemporary Latina and Latino theologians, this much-needed interdisciplinary collection, like a good frontera, advances the frontiers of serious scholarship by taking seriously the faith of the people, exploring not only the origins of the devotion but also its evolution during the first two centuries of its appearance. This fruit of a seminar led by two top scholars, one a historian and the other a theologian, models well cutting-edge research, one which demonstrates that frontiers can be great places of creativity and encounter.”
