From the Back Cover

The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Latinoax Theology, Second Edition provides a systematic, fully ecumenical account of the past, present, and future of Latinoax theology. Edited by one of the world's leading Latino theologians, this comprehensive volume brings together an international panel of established scholars and emerging voices that challenges traditional Western readings of Christianity and offers fresh insights into theological truth from varied cultural, ethnic, theological, and ecclesial perspectives.

Reflecting recent developments within Latinoax Studies, this second edition addresses a wider range of Latinoax contexts, theologies, and theologians. New and expanded chapters explore diverse intra-Latinoax communities and highlight the thought of contemporary female, male, and LGBTQ+ Latinoax scholars. Throughout the companion, the authors provide the historical background, discuss the current state within Latinoax theology, and offer their unique viewpoints on politics, immigration, feminism and gender, queer theory, social and economic justice, and more.

A field-defining teaching and learning resource, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Latinoax Theology, Second Edition remains an indispensable volume for academic scholars, undergraduate and graduate students, and instructors in universities and seminaries covering courses in theology, political thought, Latinoax studies, religion in the United States, and related topics.
