This exploration of Iberian, Latin American, and US-Hispanic representations of Christ focuses on outliers in art, literature, and theology: Spanish painter Salvador Dali, Mexican muralist Jose Clemente Orozco, Argentine writer Jorge Borges, Spanish existentialist Miguel de Unamuno, Brazilian theologian Leonardo Boff, and Mexican philosopher Jose Vasconcelos. Their work, and that of others, stands out from the conventional, stretching our imagination by probing the limits of our sensibilities.

El tema del libro es la ambivalencia de la religiosidad popular para la teologâia de la liberaciâon y para la liberaciâon misma. Enfoca el asunto en dos posiciones de opuesta apreciaciâon de la religiosidad popular: la de Juan Carlos Scannone y la de Juan Luis Segundo. Concede gran importancia a la religiosidad popular"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
