The primary role played by religion in the development of the Spanish nation in the Iberian Peninsula and its subsequent role in the Spanish conquest and colonization of the Americas has been well studied. Similarly, Hispanics around the world and in the United States have been characterized in scholarship and popular opinion by the dimensions of their predominant Catholic faith. To date, neither their diversity of faith nor their ethnic and racial diversity have been adequately addressed, thus contributing to a widely held perception of a monolithic culture with its own Catholic world view, a world view often categorized as obscurantist, mystical and anachronistic. Most important, the role of religion, in all of its diversity and historical evolution, in building Hispanic culture in the United States has not been adequately studied or understood. Today, because a corpus of Hispanic religious thought from across the ages in the United States has been reconstituted and there are scholars dedicated to understanding this thought and the experience it reveals, publication of this present volume has been made possible. The chapters of Recovering Hispanic Religious Thought and Practice in the United States have resulted from the research underwritten by the eponymous Recovery project and initially presented at Recovery conferences in 2004 and 2005. After scholarly debate and re-working of the research papers, the articles contained in this volume were selected. They represent original work on topics rarely addressed before, in recognition that these articles are laying the groundwork on which an entire sub-discipline of Hispanic history, literature and theology will be constructed. The material addressed is so rich and the themes so numerous and promising that their presentation and elaboration here most certainly will entice scholars from other disciplines to broaden their perspectives on Hispanic life in the United States and perhaps to look to these religious and other alternative sources in conducting their own disciplinary research.

En la presente obra te ofrecemos las profecías bíblicas ubicadas en los capítulos que comprenden los primeros cinco libros que conforman la biblia llamados Pentateuco, teniendo en cuenta que desde el mismo comienzo de la Creación Dios anuncia lo que ocurriría en el transcurso de los siglos hasta el mismísimo final de nuestra era; sin embargo, ocurre que el Antiguo Testamento es ignorado, atrayendo entonces un sin número de incógnitas que nunca se llegan a descifrar debido al desconocimiento generalizado. Aquí explicamos al detalle diferentes sistemas que matemáticamente certifican y señalan hacia nuestra Era como la esperada y anunciada por todos los profetas. Ellos son: 'Sistema del 3', Sistema del 5', 'Sistema del 7', y 'Sistema del 14', entre otros análisis importantes.Como libro de estudio es más que nada lo que el Espíritu Santo de Dios ha revelado, y fruto del estudio esforzado de todas las profecías bíblicas--durante veinte años--que señalan indudablemente hacia nuestra era apocalíptica y el comienzo de las promesas eternas establecidas en las Sagradas Escrituras y próximas a revelarse. Es por tanto un libro dirigido a aquellos interesados en escudriñar-como se nos dice en San Juan 5:39-las profecías bíblicas, incluidas dentro del Plan de Dios, dedicándole tiempo, paciencia y mucha oración.Deseamos de todo corazón que las Escrituras proféticas te acerquen más al Creador hallando la Salvación y puerta de entrada a la eternidad a través de nuestro Redentor. Esperamos que te sea de ayuda para seguir velando y estar preparados para los ciertos y duros acontecimientos que se le avecinan a la humanidad en nuestros días.

From East L.A. to the barrios of New York City and the Cuban neighborhoods of Miami, Latino literature, or literature written by Hispanic peoples of the United States, is the written word of North America's vibrant Latino communities. Emerging from the fusion of Spanish, North American, and African cultures, it has always been part of the American mosaic. Written for students and general readers, this encyclopedia surveys the vast landscape of Latino literature from the colonial era to the present. Aiming to be as broad and inclusive as possible, the encyclopedia covers all of native North American Latino literature as well as that created by authors originating in virtually every country of Spanish America and Spain. Included are more than 700 alphabetically arranged entries written by roughly 60 expert contributors. While most of the entries are on writers, such as Julia Alvarez, Sandra Cisneros, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Oscar Hijuelos, and Piri Thomas, others cover genres, ethnic and national literatures, movements, historical topics and events, themes, concepts, associations and organizations, and publishers and magazines. Special attention is given to the cultural, political, social, and historical contexts in which Latino literature has developed. Entries cite works for further reading, and the encyclopedia closes with a selected, general bibliography.

Cuando crei y recibi a Cristo, como mi Salvador y Senor, no tenia una comprension clara de como leer la Biblia, o de donde empezar a leerla. Asi que basandome en lo que habia aprendido en este mundo, en la escuela, por ejemplo, empece a leer la Biblia desde el principio, desde el libro del Genesis. Despues de todo, eso es lo que aprendi en la escuela, un libro se empieza a leer desde el principio. Las historias del Antiguo Testamento me fascinaban, eran mejores y mas emocionantes para mi que las ensenanzas y mandamientos de Jesus en el Nuevo Testamento. Lo que no entendia, y lo que no me ensenaron, fue que yo habia creido y recibido a Jesucristo como mi Salvador y Senor. Que ahora era su seguidor, su discipulo, su siervo. Y como su siervo, yo tenia que empezar a leer del Nuevo Testamento primero, para empezar a aprender las ensenanzas, instrucciones y mandamientos de mi Senor, lo que el queria que ahora yo hiciera, y asi, empezar a ser obediente a su palabra. No sabia que tambien era un mandamiento de nuestro Padre Celestial, que nos dice en Hechos 3, 22-23, que debemos empezar a leer del Nuevo Testamento, para poder hacer lo que Jesus ahora nos dice que hagamos. En el Nuevo Testamento, Jesus comienza a ensenarnos, sus nuevas leyes, y lo diferente de las antiguas, las que todavia debemos obedecer y hacer, y las que ya no hacemos. Por ejemplo, la ley del ojo por ojo, o diente por diente, y otras que estan escritas en Mateo 5, 21-47. Otras como la circuncision, el dia septimo, sobre los sacrificios de animales, que clase de animales podemos comer ahora, y muchas mas. Tambien aprendi que otra razon por la que empezamos a leer del Nuevo Testamento, es para podamos entender lo que realmente Dios requiere de nosotros, para convertirnos en verdaderos cristianos, o en unos verdaderos seguidores de Cristo. Para crecer espiritualmente, para desarrollar una relacion intima con Dios, y para estar completamente equipado para servirle. Tambien aprendi que a diferencia del Antiguo Testamento, Dios nos ha dado a cada uno de nosotros, los que ahora seguimos a su hijo Jesus, su Espiritu Santo, para ayudarnos y guiarnos en cada paso de nuestra vida espiritual con Cristo. Y asi poder vivir la vida santa que el ahora quiere que vivamos hasta el final, o hasta que Jesus vuelva.

In 1611 Francisco Martínez Montiño, chef to Philip II, Philip III, and Philip IV of Spain, published what would become the most recognized Spanish cookbook for centuries: Arte de cocina, pastelería, vizcochería y conservería. This first English translation of The Art of Cooking, Pie Making, Pastry Making, and Preserving will delight and surprise readers with the rich array of ingredients and techniques found in the early modern kitchen. Based on her substantial research and hands-on experimentation, Carolyn A. Nadeau reveals how early cookbooks were organized and read and presents an in-depth analysis of the ingredients featured in the book. She also introduces Martínez Montiño and his contributions to culinary history, and provides an assessment of taste at court and an explanation of regional, ethnic, and international foodstuffs and recipes. The 506 recipes and treatises reproduced in The Art of Cooking, Pie Making, Pastry Making, and Preserving outline everything from rules for kitchen cleanliness to abstinence foods to seasonal banquet menus, providing insight into why this cookbook, penned by the chef of kings, stayed in production for centuries.

This issue of the Journal of Latin American Theology is dedicated to the memory of C. René Padilla (1932–2021). In “The Life and Legacy of C. René Padilla,” historian Daniel Salinas presents the essential events of René’s life and ministry. In 2008, Darren C. Marks published René’s own account of his theological journey in Shaping a Global Theological Mind. We are grateful to reprint “My Theological Pilgrimage,” in which René described the factors that contributed to his development as a theologian and practitioner. Next, the five children René had with his late wife Catharine Feser Padilla offer a heartfelt overview of their father’s life. A sample of tributes from friends and family members then describes not only René’s writings and mental brilliance but also his humility, hospitality, courage, and gentleness as a mentor. And the three poets included herein give testimony to René’s unflagging dedication to encouraging and publishing other writers across the genres. Next, historian Dinorah Méndez reviews René’s last literary venture, Raíces de un evangelio integral: misión en perspectiva histórica and demonstrates that the primary theological emphasis of René’s life—misión integral—has been practiced by the people of God in their various contexts throughout history. Finally, with the combined efforts of several scholars, we have compiled as complete a bibliography of René’s published works as possible.
