Caminemos Con Jesœs

Book excerpt: While the growth in numbers and influence of the Hispanic community in the United States has been commented on widely, there has been no systematic attempt to define what a Hispanic/Latino theology is. Roberto S. Goizueta, a Cuban-American, recognizes that "Hispanic" and "Latino" are labels that can be imposed artificially on a diversity of peoples; he finds a common link in the Spanish language and a shared culture. Central to this culture is the experience of exile, of peoples at the margins of a society, who must find and make their way together. Central also is faith in Jesus. Caminemos con Jesús provides lessons in discipleship for Hispanics and non-Hispanics alike, for students of contemporary theology, and all those engaged in pastoral and church-based work. Book jacket.
