Description Description: Latina Evang licas: 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 evang lica, 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.
