Current Issues on Theology and Religion in Latin America and Africa

This volume explores the difficult relation between theologians and scholars of religion by exploring methodolgical parameters regarding objectivity.

While most religious studies scholars propose a naturalistic view of religion and its study, this work proposes an interface between contextual theology and religious studies.

Following the case study of the American Academy of Religion, chapters constitute historical explorations about religious practitioners and their theologies within society in Chile, El Salvador, Kenya and Rwanda.
