This book examines the ways in which Latino/a theologians approach the Bible and its interpretation today. It brings together for this purpose a splendid array of voices, who reflect the diversity of ecclesial affiliation and religious traditions at work in the project of Latino/a Theology.

This book explores the use of the Bible among Latino/a theologians today. Latino/a Theology emerged in the 1980s, alongside a broad variety of contextual theological movements and discourses following the Latino/a movement and the formation of Latino/a Studies in the 1960s and 1970s. While much work has been done on biblical interpretation in Latino/a biblical criticism, little can be found regarding interpretation in Latino/a theological reflection. To address this gap in the literature, the contributors, from various ecclesial affiliations and religious traditions, examine the status and role of the Bible in Latino/a Theology.

Francisco Lozada Jr. is Charles Fischer Catholic Associate Professor of New Testament and Latina/o Studies at Brite Divinity School. Fernando F. Segovia is Oberlin Graduate Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at Vanderbilt School of Divinity.
