"A groundbreaking book destined to shape Latina theology for years to come. Rooted in praxis and community, the authors are prompted by the transformative power of the subversive Spirit. I highly recommend it."
--Kwok Pui-lan, Professor of Christian Theology and Spirituality, Episcopal Divinity School
"Latina Evangelicas is a powerful and provocative treatise by three Latina theologian-practitioners. Here we have rich and prophetic voices that go beyond Latina feminist, mujerista, or womanist works. The traditional theological themes addressed in this book may seem common to some, but watch out! In the hands of these Latina theologians, these themes--be they the Holy Spirit, salvation, the Trinity, or Scripture--are insightful, constructive, and explosive."
--Eldin Villafane, Professor of Christian Social Ethics, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
"A welcome and necessary addition to the theological table, and in particular to la mesa latina. This labor of love is a spirited and spirit-filled example of teologia en conjunto. These three authors, Latinas evangelicas, rooted in the richness and diversity of their daily places and communities, expand theological vocabulary and offer fresh perspectives on traditional systematic themes by drawing on lived experience latinamente."
--Carmen Nanko-Fernandez, Associate Professor of Pastoral Ministry, Catholic Theological Union
