Base Ecumenism

Theology

“This book is an important analysis of the new Latin American theology: the development of liberation theology and the relationship of the diversity of ecumenical ecclesiastical theologies. Raimundo Barreto, professor at Princeton Theological Seminary, has become a crucial international theologian and also a magnificent writer. I recommend the reading and serious consideration of this excellent book.”

Calvin for the World

Theology

“This book by Rubén Rosario Rodríguez is an excellent contribution to the analysis of the importance of John Calvin as a leader of the emerging Protestant Christian theology. Rosario Rodríguez carefully analyzes the various aspects of Calvinist thought and their implications for the convergences between Calvinism, Lutheranism, and Catholicism. It includes the importance of support for impoverished people and the possibility of coming together in ecumenical relationships that highlight convergences rather than contradictions. I recommend attentive and careful reading of this extraordinary book.”

The Histories of the Latin American Church

History & Biography

“The Histories of the Latin American Church: A Handbook is a much-needed, splendid introduction to the diverse Christian communities that inhabit the spiritual imaginations of Latin American and Caribbean men and women. The author is deeply aware of the significant changes in the global spread of Christianity—from the North and West to the South and East—and the increasing varieties of its ecclesiastic theologies, liturgies, and institutions. Its wide-ranging perspective combines academic thoroughness and ecumenical empathy. I strongly recommend its careful and attentive reading to anybody with interest in either Latin American and Caribbean social history or the history of the Christian faith.”

The Mexican Reformation

History & Biography

“This book is an important and perceptive contribution to the historiography of Mexican religiosities and of the diverse and plural manifestations of Christianity in Latin America. It is also a very insightful enquiry into the criteria that should guide such an intellectual research. Joel Morales Cruz is a learned and discerning scholar whose critical theoretical reflections deserve serious attention and recognition.”
