Latina Evanglicas: A Theological Survey from the Margins is a constructive and postcolonial examination of the theology of Protestant Latinas who reside in the United States. Written by three Latinas who have pastored and who teach in Latina/o communities, the book seeks to expand beyond Latina feminist and mujerista voices to include those whose perspectives have not yet been heard. It thus introduces an important theological perspective to a wider audience, and provides an important resource that has been lacking for evangelicas/os and other marginalized groups who study in various theological programs. Key terminology, such as evanglica, is defined throughout, and a glossary is included for non-Spanish-speaking readers. Each chapter considers theological themes important to the Latina Protestant worshiping community, beginning with a constructive discussion of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit and followed by the doctrines of salvation and Jesus Christ, the Trinity, the church, Scripture, and the last things (eschatology). Given that one of the characteristics of Latina/o theologies is their dialogical and collaborative nature, the book concludes with a conversation among the three authors about the theological thinking that took place in its composition. Study questions are included at the end of each chapter.

Este maana es tuyo, nena

(This tomorrow is yours, girl)

By Zaida Maldonado Prez

September , 2012


Maana, maana, maana

Bursts from yesterdays grip

Biding, compelling, inciting

Get up, mi Reina! Palante, S , se puede, nena!

Life is yours, mine, ours

What are you waiting for?!

Strut that beautiful body toward the prize

Walk it, jump it, crawl to it, run it

However and whatever it takes, mami

You got it cause God gave it to you

You got el Padre , you got el Hijo and you got Esp ritu Santo

You got coraje!

It runs through your veins as Tano , African, Mayan and Spanish blood

Its warrior blood

The kind that doesnt give up or fret cuando la cosa se pone dura*

This is your hour upon the stage

Show us what you got, chula

Bless us with the light that you see

The candela that drives you

The truth that carries you to the many

Maana, maana, maanas

Oh, and while you are at it,

Look back!... look back

To the trail of women that follow you

The cola of mujeres that you have inspired

And, be blessed, mamita, be blessed


*when things get difficult

Foreword

R arely do I come across a book in the field of systematic theology that by the end of the first page has stirred in me three very different reactions. It made me think very, very hard. It surprised me with the newness of its idea. And best of all, it caused me to smile. How is it that one book can provoke all three?

The thinking hard part was elicited by the seriousness these scholars bring to the old-fashion work of systematic theological reflection. Its an example of classical doctrinal refashioning at its best. The surprise part was stirred by the freshness of their approach, in both content and style. I promise you the ideas and narratives written on these pages are unlike any you have encountered in previous texts. The smile partwell, it has numerous roots. I smile with admiration for a project whose time has come. I smile with appreciation for hard work poured into the book: its scope is broad, its waters deep, and hence its labors most certainly were long. I smile at the vivid images that came dancing across the page towards me as I read. The thoughts, ideas, theology, and stories that compose evanglica theology are alive, playful, one might even say pregnant with theological meaning.

In this book, three leading North American Christian theologians take up the ancient theological task of helping faith seek understanding for the sake of the present day church and its witness in the world. For Loida Martell-Otero, Elizabeth Conde-Fraizer, and Zaida Maldonado Prez, this seeking is not general or abstract, however. They undertake the task of theological reflection with their feet firmly planted in the church community that formed themthe rich world of Protestant Latina womens lived experience. They seek, on behalf of that community, to name themselves as evanglica rather than be named by others. That their feet are planted in the soil of a community that, according to recent demographic studies, is the largest group of Protestant women in the world today makes the work even more prodigious and important. That they are speaking out and writing about a religious reality that has been silenced for too long makes the work truly historic.
