Book Review: Muslim-Christian Relations: Past, Present, Future

with the goal of facilitating theological reflection on the significance of the Gospel for church and society in Latin America. Rene Padilla serves as general editor. The title of the book reflects the reality that while Latin American evangelical theologians function on the fringe of the dominant cultural elite in Latin America, they function at the very center of the missionary action of the churches. The first essay surveys the search for an authentically Latin American Christo­ logical missiology.The second essay deals with the missionary legacy of John A. Mackay . In North Atlantic circles Mackay is remembered primarily as the longtime president of Princeton Theological Seminary and an architect of the World Council of Churches. Escobar reminds his readers that before coming to Princeton, Mackay was a missionary educator and evangelist in Latin America. Mackay's classic analysis of the spiritual condition of Latin America, his theological methodology with its emphasis on a "theologyof the road," and his missionary style constitute a legacy highly relevant to the contemporary situation. The third essay, drawing upon recent studies by two Puerto Rican writers, Angel Mergal and Santiago Soto Fontanez, explores the relationship between evangelical pietism and sixteenth-century Roman Catholic spirituality. In these brief pages Escobar interacts with an incredibly broad range of thinkers and writers.A mere glance at the footnotes provides the reader with an introduction to the thinkers who have shaped the landscape of Latin American Protestant missiological and theological thought during the past century.
