Journal of Latin American Theology Journal of Latin American Theology, Volume 21, Number 1, Book 21, (Paperback)

This issue marks an inflection point for the <i>Journal of Latin American Theology</i> (JLAT): from the editorship of Lindy Scott to the soon-to-be new coeditors, James (Santiago/Jim) Padilla DeBorst and Alberto La Rosa Rojas in the next issue. The current transitional issue continues the historical style of JLAT up to now. It begins with a collection of eleven declarations or final statements that have appeared in previous JLAT issues. Each is preceded by an introduction that gives the context in which it arose and draws parallels for how it remains applicable to-day. These declarations offer a peek through the window at key Latin American and Hispanic/Latine theological expressions. Next, Mexican pastor and scholar Fabián Santiago F. approaches the question of why a culture of violence reigns in Mexico. He explores literary archeological evidence and the Pauline presentation of the gospel to conclude that a misunderstanding or rejection of God as Creator is what leads to the antisocial conduct of violence. This meaty article is followed by a book review of Reading the Bible Latinamente, a film review of <i>The Secret Agent</i> (O Agente Secreto), and two offerings of theopoetry.
