Journal of Latin American Theology, Volume 19, Number 2

This issue of the Journal of Latin American Theology (JLAT) features three papers from the FTL's "Ecology, Theology, and Mission" conference from November 2023 and three from RIESC's conference that same month, "Protestant Involvement in the Public Sphere Around the Globe: A Latin American Perspective Regarding Higher Education." Daniel Beros discusses climate change in dialogue with the lyrics of the iconic Latin American song "Todo cambia." Werner Fuchs reframes creation care as driven by the redemption brought by Christ and deconstructs commonly held Christian notions about "subduing the earth," among other matters. Pablo Ferrer explores what the theme of the "new" heavens and earth does and does not mean in the book of Revelation. Nicolas Panotto seeks to help the church reimagine its place in a plural, democratic society and to help institutions of Christian higher education equip the church to develop political practices based on the ethics of the kingdom of God. Rudolf von Sinner points out the contradictions between evangelico support for Bolsonaro in Brazil and evangelico doctrines and practices, and he offers a corrective in the form of an "evangelico sense of shame." Magali Cunha surveys an array of counterhegemonic Protestant groups in order to disprove the assumption that all Brazilian evangelicals believe, act, and vote in alignment with conservative fundamentalisms and extreme-right political policies. The reviews and poetry in this issue address related realities, especially the element of hope that rings throughout the pieces included herein.
