Description: Latina Evangelicas: A Theological Survey from the
Margins is a constructive and postcolonial examination of the
theology of Protestant Latinas who reside in the United States.
Written by three Latinas who have pastored and who teach in
Latina/o communities, the book seeks to expand beyond Latina
feminist and mujerista voices to include those whose perspectives
have not yet been heard. It thus introduces an important
theological perspective to a wider audience, and provides an
important resource that has been lacking for evangelicas/os and
other marginalized groups who study in various theological
programs. Key terminology, such as evangelica, is defined
throughout, and a glossary is included for non-Spanish-speaking
readers. Each chapter considers theological themes important to the
Latina Protestant worshiping community, beginning with a
constructive discussion of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit and
followed by the doctrines of salvation and Jesus Christ, the
Trinity, the church, Scripture, and ""the last things""
(eschatology). Given that one of the characteristics of Latina/o
theologies is their dialogical and collaborative nature, the book
concludes with a conversation among the three authors about the
theological thinking that took place in its composition. Study
questions are included at the end of each chapter. Endorsements:
""A groundbreaking book destined to shape Latina theology for years
to come. Rooted in praxis and community, the authors are prompted
by the transformative power of the subversive Spirit. I highly
recommend it."" --Kwok Pui-lan, Professor of Christian Theology and
Spirituality, Episcopal Divinity School ""Latina Evangelicas is a
powerful and provocative treatise by three Latina
theologian-practitioners. Here we have rich and prophetic voices
that go beyond Latina feminist, mujerista, or womanist works. The
traditional theological themes addressed in this book may seem
common to some, but watch out In the hands of these Latina
theologians, these themes--be they the Holy Spirit, salvation, the
Trinity, or Scripture--are insightful, constructive, and
explosive."" --Eldin Villafane, Professor of Christian Social
Ethics, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary ""A welcome and
necessary addition to the theological table, and in particular to
la mesa latina. This labor of love is a spirited and spirit-filled
example of teologia en conjunto. These three authors, Latinas
evangelicas, rooted in the richness and diversity of their daily
places and communities, expand theological vocabulary and offer
fresh perspectives on traditional systematic themes by drawing on
lived experience latinamente."" --Carmen Nanko-Fernandez, Associate
