Contradicting the widely held but false belief that all Latinos are
Catholic, this book offers a concise one-volume introduction to
America's Latino Protestants, the fastest growing segment of U.S.
Protestantism today. Los Protestantes: An Introduction to Latino
Protestantism in the United States, the first to provide a broad
introduction to this rapidly growing population. At its core is an
exploration of the group's demographics, denominational tendencies,
and potential for continued growth. Current information is
supported by a survey of the history of Latino Protestants in the
United States, which dates back to the efforts of missionaries in
the mid-19th century. Los Protestantes brings together data from
formerly disparate studies of various aspects of the community to
create an insightful overview. The work presents brief descriptions
of principal denominations and organizations among Latino
Protestants. It notes marked differences that separate Latino
Protestants from other U.S. Protestants, and it examines an
evolving Protestant/Latino ethno-religious identity. Readers will
come away from this study more clearly understanding the current
state of Latino Protestantism in the United States, as well as
where Latino Protestants fit in the overall picture of U.S.
religion. A graph charting the various types of Latino
identification with Latino culture A graph showing the implications
of this identification for probable church attendance An extensive
bibliography of most published materials on Latino Protestantism
since the mid-19th century
