Está creciendo el interés, la conciencia y la demanda por el conocimiento de que la justicia social es algo que
sale de la fe cristiana. Pero esto no es algo nuevo.
Por quinientos años la cultura e identidad latina han sido moldeadas por sus desafíos al statu quo religioso,
socioeconómico y político, ya sea en oposición al colonialismo español, las dictaduras latinoamericanas, el
imperialismo estadounidense en Centro América, la opresión de los trabajadores de campo o la explotación
actual de inmigrantes indocumentados. El cristianismo ha jugado un papel significativo en ese movimiento en
cada etapa.
Robert Chao Romero, hijo de padre mexicano y madre inmigrante china, explora la historia y la teología de
lo que él llama la «iglesia mestiza». Romero considera como este movimiento ha respondido a estas y otras
injusticias a lo largo de su historia al apelar a la creencia que la visión de Dios por la redención incluye no solo
promesas celestiales sino también la transformación de cada aspecto de nuestras vidas y el mundo. Al recorrer
esta historia de activismo y fe, lectores descubrirán que los cristianos latinos tienen un corazón conforme al
de Dios.
Critical Race Theory (CRT) has become a lightning rod in American politics and evangelical Christianity. This book offers a critical but constructive and sympathetic introduction to CRT written from a perspective rooted in Scripture and Christian theology. The authors take us beyond caricatures and misinformation to consider how CRT can be an analytical tool to help us understand persistent inequality and injustice-and to see how Christians and churches working for racial justice can engage CRT in faithful and constructive ways.
The authors explore aspects of CRT that resonate with well-trod Christian doctrine but also that challenge or are corrected by Christian theology. They also address the controversial connection that critics see between CRT and Marxism. Their aim is to offer objective analysis and critique that go beyond the debates about social identity and the culture wars and aid those who are engaging the issues in Christian life and ministry. Reflection/discussion questions, exercises, a glossary of key CRT terms, and suggested readings make the book helpful for students or small groups.
Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Finalist
Interest in and awareness of the demand for social justice as an outworking of the Christian faith is growing. But it is not new.
For five hundred years, Latina/o culture and identity have been shaped by their challenges to the religious, socio-economic, and political status quo, whether in opposition to Spanish colonialism, Latin American dictatorships, US imperialism in Central America, the oppression of farmworkers, or the current exploitation of undocumented immigrants. Christianity has played a significant role in that movement at every stage.
Robert Chao Romero, the son of a Mexican father and a Chinese immigrant mother, explores the history and theology of what he terms the 'Brown Church.' Romero considers how this movement has responded to these and other injustices throughout its history by appealing to the belief that God's vision for redemption includes not only heavenly promises but also the transformation of every aspect of our lives and the world. Walking through this history of activism and faith, listeners will discover that Latina/o Christians have a heart after God's own.
