How do ethnic and cultural diversity affect spiritual formation?
The authors of A Many Colored Kingdom explore Christian formation
and teaching in the church, with a particular focus on
intercultural and interethnic relationships.
Well-qualified to speak on issues of diversity, the authors
describe relevant aspects of their own personal journeys; key
issues emerging from their studies and teaching germane to race,
culture, and ethnicity; and teaching implications that bring right
practice to bear on church ministry. A final chapter contains a
conversation among the authors responding to one another's insights
and concerns.
This book will be required reading for those engaged in as well as
those preparing for a life of teaching and ministry in our
increasingly multicultural world.
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

Yes, White people can be saved. In God's redemptive plan, that goes
without saying. But what about the reality of white normativity?
This idea and way of being in the world has been parasitically
joined to Christianity, and this is the ground of many of our
problems today. It is time to redouble the efforts of the church
and its institutions to muster well-informed, gospel-based
initiatives to fight racialized injustice and overcome the heresy
of whiteness. Written by a world-class roster of scholars, Can
"White" People Be Saved? develops language to describe the current
realities of race and racism. It challenges evangelical
Christianity in particular to think more critically and
constructively about race, ethnicity, migration, and mission in
relation to white supremacy. Historical and contemporary
perspectives from Africa and the African diaspora prompt fresh
theological and missiological questions about place and identity.
Native American and Latinx experiences of colonialism, migration,
and hybridity inspire theologies and practices of shalom. And Asian
and Asian American experiences of ethnicity and class generate
transnational resources for responding to the challenge of systemic
injustice. With their call for practical resistance to the Western
whiteness project, the perspectives in this volume can revitalize a
vision of racial justice and peace in the body of Christ.
Missiological Engagements charts interdisciplinary and innovative
trajectories in the history, theology, and practice of Christian
mission, featuring contributions by leading thinkers from both the
Euro-American West and the majority world whose missiological
scholarship bridges church, academy, and society.
