Description

This book reexamines key themes of the Protestant Reformation from the perspectives of marginalized communities, including Black, Hispanic, and global Christian voices. The authors explore central theological concepts—especially justification—through the lenses of witness, service, and community, highlighting how the experiences of the global church can enrich and challenge traditional interpretations of the Reformation for today. Focusing on the central theme of justification, García and Nunes delve into three interlinked aspects of the church's life in the world—martyria (witness), diakonia (service), and koinōnia (fellowship). They argue that it is critically important and vitally enriching for the whole church, especially Eurocentric Protestant churches, to learn from the grassroots theological emphases of Christian communities in the emerging world.
