Christian Practices and Popular Religion in Dialogue: Implications for Latino/a Religious Education in the United States. 2nd Edition.DE

The largest, fastest-growing minority group in the United States, an estimated 30 million Latinos affiliate with Christianity. Numerous Catholic and Protestant congregations count U.S. Latinos among their membership. This book sets theologian Dorothy Bass's Christian practices movement in critical dialogue with U.S. Latino popular religion in order to explore ways that these distinctive sets of practices could enrich one another. This dialogue at the level of practices has important implications for U.S. Latino Religious Education or Christian Education programs. This book is essential for non- Latino theologians, seminary professors and their students, Catholic and Protestant pastors, and religious educators who engage in ministry with and for U.S. Latinos.
