Latino Pentecostals in America - Faith and Politics in Action

About the author

Gastón Espinosa is Arthur V. Stoughton Professor of Religious Studies at Claremont McKenna College.

Summary

Today 12.5 million U.S. Latinos self-identify as Protestant, and Assemblies of God is the destination for one out of four converts. Gastón Espinosa reveals the church’s struggle for indigenous leadership, racial equality, women in the ministry, and immigration reform and shows why “Silent Pentacostals” are an activist voice in Evangelical politics.
