This “excellent study” of the Latino Pentecostal movement is “an important resource for understanding the future of Christianity in North America” (Choice). Every year an estimated 600,000 U.S. Latinos convert from Catholicism to Protestantism, a transformation spearheaded by the Pentecostal movement and Assemblies of God. Latino Assemblies of God leaders—and their 2,400 churches across the nation—represent a new and growing force in denominational, Evangelical, and presidential politics. In a deeply researched social and cultural history, Gastón Espinosa uncovers the roots and contemporary developments of this remarkable turn. Latino Pentecostals in America traces the Latino AG back more than a century, to the Azusa Street Revivals in Los Angeles and Apostolic Faith Revivals in Houston from 1906 to 1909. Espinosa describes the uphill struggles for indigenous leadership, racial equality, women in the ministry, social and political activism, and immigration reform. Their outspoken commitment to an active faith has led a new generation of leaders to combine the reconciling message of Billy Graham with the social transformation politics of Martin Luther King Jr. This eye-opening study explains why this group of working-class Latinos once called "the Silent Pentecostals" is silent no more. By giving voice to their untold story, Espinosa enriches our understanding of the diversity of Latino religion, Evangelicalism, and American culture.

Hispanics make up approximately one-third of the members of the Catholic Church in the United States today and are expected to constitute one half of the U.S. Catholic population in the twenty-first century. What is their position and role in the Catholic church today, and what will it be tomorrow? This new collection explores the past, present and possible future status of the Hispanics in the Catholic church in the United States. Introduced by Philip Lampe, it contains articles by leading scholars Tarcisio Beal, Juan Romero, Yolanda Tarango and Timothy Matovina, documenting issues of crucial importance to the development of the church: the composition of the Catholic Hispanic population, the practice of religion among Hispanics, the role of Hispanics in the Catholic church, Mexican American priests, Las Hermanas, and the role of Virgin of Guadalupe in Hispanic Catholicism.
