Theologizing en Espanglish: Context, Community, and Ministry

by Carmen Nanko-Fernandez

Overview

Using fresh, playful language that tweaks the pretentions of mainstream academic theology, Carmen Nariko-Fenández covers a range of topics, from the implications of population shifts on the identity of the church, to the role of the "everyday" or "lo cotidiano" in theology, and even the global phenomenon of "béisbol".
