By 2025, Latin America's population of observant Christians will be
the largest in the world. Nonetheless, studies examining the
exponential growth of global Christianity tend to overlook this
region, focusing instead on Africa and Asia. Research on
Christianity in Latin America provides a core point of departure
for understanding the growth and development of Christianity in the
"Global South." In The Oxford Handbook of Latin American
Christianity an interdisciplinary contingent of scholars examines
Latin American Christianity in all of its manifestations from the
colonial to the contemporary period. The essays here provide an
accessible background to understanding Christianity in Latin
America. Spanning the era from indigenous and African-descendant
people's conversion to and transformation of Catholicism during the
colonial period through the advent of Liberation Theology in the
1960s and conversion to Pentecostalism and Charismatic Catholicism,
The Oxford Handbook of Latin American Christianity is the most
complete introduction to the history and trajectory of this
important area of modern Christianity.
