In this book Alvin Padilla, Roberto Goizueta, and Eldin Villafañe bring together an impressive array of Hispanic scholars from across the theological disciplines to articulate just such a comprehensive construction of Hispanic theology. Their purpose is to delineate the common elements in Hispanic biblical studies, theology, and ethics and to draw these together into a statement of what Hispanic theology has to say to the larger theological community, and to the church. To do so they organize their presentation around four theological streams that run through Hispanic theology: * Reading Scripture from the Margins: The contributors will present a reading of the biblical text that incorporates into its interpretative methodology the experience of alienation and marginalization, the central feature of Hispanic sociohistorical reality. * Subversive and Liberating Memories: The contributors discover the subversive and liberating stories and voices within the Christian tradition and demonstrate how the memory of these "liberate" Hispanics and others from contemporary oppression. * Liberating Truth: The authors offer fresh perspective on theological truth, incorporating the distinctive Hispanic sources, locus, and expressions. * Liberating Praxis: Drawing on current Hispanic religious experience (for example, spirituality, church life, and ministry), the authors reflect on the way Hispanic religious experience is changing and how it will change the landscape of Western Christianity in the 21st century.

Roberto Goizueta unites this book around the disjuncture between the Christian claim that Christ's life, death, and resurrection are the key to universal human meaning, on the one hand, and our increased consciousness of the diverse, pluralistic world in which we live, on the other hand.

How do Christians resolve the dissonance between the truth of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection as the universal key to human meaning, and our increased consciousness of the diverse, pluralistic world in which we live? Robert Goizueta notes that this tension raises important questions about the ethical as well as the theological defensibility of any religious position – particularly when so much contemporary violence arises from religious rationales.\nUltimately, Goizueta argues, the answer for Christians “will only be discovered as we, through our everyday actions, respond to Christ’s claim to be the Way, and the Truth, and the Life by embodying that claim in our actions.”

With the increasing numbers of Hispanics in North America, there is a growing need to express the Christian faith in ways that are meaningful to the Latino/Hispanic community. Although there have been many attempts to do this, little has been written that defines in a systematic way a meaningful theology for North American Hispanics. In this work Goizueta challenges both traditional European and American theologies. Although Goizueta recognizes that Hispanic and Latino might be artificially imposed labels, he finds a common link in the Spanish language and a shared culture. He describes the Latino Hispanic experience in North America, using the Biblical language of people in exile who are living on the margins of society and who are seeking ways to rediscover their identity in their new situation. Faith is central to their experience, and the author suggests ways in which these communities can embrace and follow the presence of Jesus, which is so vividly perceived in Hispanic communities. The author offers examples of discipleship that will have universal significance both for Christians and for all who are working for a better world.
