About the Authors

Christianity has had an undeniable impact on Latin America, which has in turn transformed Christianity itself. Focusing on this mutually constitutive relationship, Christianity in Latin America presents the important encounters between people, ideas, and events of this large, heterogeneous subject. This book offers an accessible and engaging review of the history of Christianity in Latin America with a widely ecumenical focus to foster understanding of the various forces shaping both Christianity and the region.
- Covers the often neglected long colonial period and stretches to consider current issues in Roman Catholicism and Pentecostalism
- Focuses on the lives of the believers for a more detailed exploration
- Written in an engaging narrative style ideal for students
