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, readers will discover that Latina/o Christians have a heart after God's own. 650 0 $a Hispanic American theology $x History. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Social justice $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Social justice $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Social justice $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Liberation theology $x History. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $x Ethnic identity. 650 7 $a Hispanic American theology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957472 650 7 $a Hispanic Americans $x Ethnic identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957556 650 7 $a Hispanic Americans $x Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957592 650 7 $a Liberation theology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997211 650 7 $a Social justice $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01767768 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Romero, Robert Chao, 1972- $t Brown church $d Downers Grove, Illinois : IVP, an imprint of InterVarsity Press, 2020. $z 9780830853953 $w (DLC) 2020004992 941 $a 2 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041838.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211005013639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68CC95D6BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
