La fe de los hispanos: Diversidad religiosa de los pueblos latinoamericanos

Using the perspectives of history, pastoral theology, and cultural studies, the author presents a brief, popular, and informative introduction to the way that Catholicism has come to be practiced throughout Latin America, and is finding itself practiced in more and more multicultural Latino parishes in the United States. It looks also at the lived experiences of Latino Catholics in the Carribean, Mexico, Central or Meso America, the Northern Andes, The Southern Andes, The Southern Cone, and Brazil. It examines the cultural and theological particularities of Latin American Catholicism as expressed in mariology, christology, popular sacramentality, the particular marriage of faith and culture, and the passion for social justice.
