The story of Latin American evangelicals doing theology is mostly unknown. In the 1970s there was an important development with the formation of the Latin American Theological Fraternity (FTL). This group spearheaded the theological production in Latin America, marking the beginning of a critical stage in the history of evangelicals in the region. This book deals with the reception history in North America of the FTL and its program. Interamerican theological dialogue is documented and analysed.

¡Quinientos años no se cumplen todos los días! Con la publicación de este libro, la Asociación para la Educación Teológica Hispana (AETH) se une a la conmemoración de los 500 años de la Reforma protestante. En este proyecto ha participado un equipo de reconocidos líderes cristianos de América Latina y el Caribe, con amplia trayectoria docente y, en general, en el quehacer teológico contextual y la tarea pastoral. Pero conmemorar no es lo mismo que celebrar. Quien celebra no hace reflexión crítica ni busca cambios, sino que sencillamente se regocija en lo que aconteció. Quien conmemora debidamente no se queda en la celebración, sino que se mueve más allá de ella de tal manera que lo que aconteció en el pasado pueda ser guía y aguijón en el presente. Al cumplirse los 500 años de la Reforma protestante en el siglo XVI, por todas partes hay celebraciones, concentraciones populares y palabras entusiastas acerca de lo que sus líderes hicieron en aquellos días. Pero con eso no basta. La historia, la buena historia, no se escribe solamente desde el pasado, sino también desde el presente que vivimos y a partir del futuro que esperamos. El presente en América Latina requiere una reflexión teológica profunda y un compromiso inquebrantable.

In the context of Latin America, the theology of liberation is both dominant and world renowned. However, this context and the pursuit of theological relevance belong also to other voices. Orlando E. Costas, Samuel Escobar, J. Andrew Kirk, Emilio A. Nunez and C. Rene Padilla are thinkers who have sought to bring an evangelical understanding of liberation to the people of Latin America. Despite their influence on national and international theology and despite their transformative contribution to the praxis of churches ministering in contexts of poverty, their thought has not been systematized to dates. This work deals with this lacuna presenting the vitality of Latin American evangelical theology which seeks to be biblical, relevant and missiologically effective, thus offering a liberation which is holistic and grounded in the kingdom of God.
