Futuring Our Past
By: Orlando Espin Gary Macy
Overview
The Catholic understanding of Tradition is not just about the preservation of ancient practices or customs; it is the process by which the faith is handed on ("traditioned") from one generation to another.
The essays in this volume, by scholars from a wide range of disciplines, center on two questions: How is the Christian tradition "traditioned" among Latino/as? And what impact does this "traditioning" have on the Tradition itself?
Futuring our Past is the first volume in a new Orbis series, published in cooperation with the Center for the Study of Latino/a Catholicism at the University of San Diego.
Along with the editors, contributors include Bernard Cooke, Miguel H. DĂaz, Michelle González, JosĂ© R. Irizzary, Francisco Lozada, Jr., Daisy L. Machado, Nancy Pineda-Madrid, Gary Riebe-Estrella, Jean-Pierre Ruiz, and Theresa Torres.
Orlando EspĂn is professor of systematic theology at the University of San Diego, and director of the Center for the Study of Latino/a Catholicism.
Gary Macy is professor of church history at the University of San Diego, and associate director of the Center for the Study of Latino/a Catholicism.
