Decolonial Christianities

Latinx and Latin American Perspectives

Raimundo Barreto | Roberto Sirvent

Social Science / Sociology of Religion

What does it mean to theorize Christianity in light of the decolonial turn? This volume invites distinguished Latinx and Latin American scholars to a conversation that engages the rich theoretical contributions of the decolonial turn, while relocating Indigenous, Afro-Latin American, Latinx, and other often marginalized practices and hermeneutical perspectives to the center-stage of religious discourse in the Americas. Keeping in mind that all religions—Christianity included—are cultured, and avoiding the abstract references to Christianity common to the modern Eurocentric hegemonic project, the contributors favor embodied religious practices that emerge in concrete contexts and communities. Featuring essays from scholars such as Sylvia Marcos, Enrique Dussel, and Luis Rivera-Pagán, this volume represents a major step to bring Christian theology into the conversation with decolonial theory.


Raimundo Barreto is Assistant Professor of World Christianity at Princeton Theological Seminary.

Roberto Sirvent is Professor of Political and Social Ethics at Hope International University in Fullerton, California.
