This timeñy anthology survey Latin American developmentes through the eyes of Christians of all major churches and every soci-historical perpective. Their writings offer the basis for ecumenical understanding and cooperation, even though these churches seem at one level engaged in divisive combat throughout Latin America.
New Face of the Church in Latin America offers thoughful and nuanced evaluations of churches there in current conditions of economic and social malaise, it provides important information and perspective, especially when the story - in the U.S. in particualr - is often reduced to such sensational and simplistic queries as, "Is Latin America turning Protestant?" or, "Why is the Catholic Church 'losing' Latin America? The contriburors to New Face of the Church in Latin America provide firsthand accounts and insider perspective on such issues as Protestan evangelism and base communities, Catholic renewal efforts, Native Americna inculturation, and new developments in liberation theology. Rather tha add to enflamed rhetoric, these notes authors - Catholic and Protestant, women and men - show that there remains ample ground for ircher, more finely-textured understanding and collaboration between supposed adversaries in lands where religious faith is a vital component of life and history. |
