In Our Own Voices: Latino/a Renditions of Theology - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Original writings by nine engaged scholars provide a fresh, ecumenical approach to systematic theology in a Latino/a voice.

U.S. Latino/a theology has emerged as one of the most dynamic and creative theological developments in the last thirty years. Reflecting the diversity as well as commonality among Latino/a theologians, this ecumenical team of men and women, both Catholic and Protestant, explore some of the core symbols and doctrines of Christianity from a distinctively Latino/a perspective. Beginning with the doctrine of God, creation, and human being, the authors present diverse perspectives on Christology, the church, and the "kin-dom of God" (la familia de Dios).

"Bison in the Bronx and a theology of creation? Hip-hop culture and a transformed understanding of church? In rich and often provocative essays, the contributors to In Our Own Voices rethink and reconsider important theological themes in a variety of idioms, vibrant idioms that reflect the depth and the breadth of Latino/a theologies. Drawing not only on the 'classical' sources of Western European and North American scholarship, they demonstrate in compelling ways that intentionally contextual theologies in our own voices have important resonances across communities, contexts, and cultures."-Jean-Pierre Ruiz, S.
