<p><B>THE EDITOR</B></p> <p><B>ORLANDO O. ESPÍN</B> is Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of San Diego. He is also director of USD’s Center for the Study of Latino/a Catholicism, which he founded in 1994. EspÍn is author or editor of ten books including the award-winning <i>An Introductory Dictionary of Theology and Religious Studies</i> (edited with James B. Nickoloff, 2007), <i>Building Bridges, Doing Justice: Constructing a Latino/a Ecumenical Theology </i>(2009), and<i> Idol and Grace: On Traditioning and Subversive Hope</i> (2014).

<p>The one-volume <i>Companion to Latino/a Theology</i> presents a systematic survey of the past, present and future of Latino/a theology, introducing readers to this significant US theological movement.</p> <p>Contributors to the <i>Companion</i> include many established scholars of the highest caliber, together with some new and exciting voices within the various theological disciplines. A mixture of Catholic, Protestant, and Evangelical scholars, they discuss the publications and contributions of theologians who reflect from, and participate in, the faith and realities of US Latino/a communities. <p>Providing unparalleled breadth and depth in the discussion of the key issues, each chapter begins with a summary of the theological publications and thought within Latino/a theology, and then proceeds to develop a constructive contribution on the topic. <p>This invaluable and unique <i>Companion</i>, edited by one of the foremost Latino theologians currently working and writing in the field, is fully ecumenical, comprehensive, and wholly representative of the wide range of ecclesial and theological traditions. It will become both an important resource for scholars and an unparalleled introduction to the entire discipline.

<p>A luminous assemblage of voices,  lucid and experimental, as divergent from each other as they are connected, in a <i>telogia de conjunto</i> crucial not just for one complex U.S. context but for the life and future of theology itself.<br /><b>Catherine Keller, Drew Theological School</b></p>
