Latino/a Theology and the Bible

<P>This book explores the use of the Bible among Latino/a theologians today. Latino/a Theology emerged in the 1980s alongside a broad variety of contextual theological movements and discourses following the Latino/a movement and the formation of Latino/a Studies in the 1960s and 1970s. While much work has been done on biblical interpretation in Latino/a biblical criticism little can be found regarding interpretation in Latino/a theological reflection. To address this gap in the literature the contributors from various ecclesial affiliations and religious traditions examine the status and role of the Bible in Latino/a Theology. </P>
