Juan Francisco Martinez is professor of Hispanic studies and pastoral leadership at Fuller Theological Seminary. A fifth-generation American Latino Protestant himself, he is a recognized expert on the history of the movement.
Daniel Castelo -- Seattle Pacific University and Seminary People continue to associate Latino Christian identity as primarily Roman Catholic, but this work by Juan Martinez highlights it as also Protestant--and significantly so. Given how the story of Latino/a Protestants has been relatively understated, Martinez's book fills a major void, exposing readers to large-scale developments, important nuances, and a host of figures, groups, and events. . . . A wonderful resource and a timely, reliable guide. Gabriel Salguero -- National Latino Evangelical Coalition For far too long, the rich contributions of Hispanic Protestants in the United States have been ignored. Beyond a facile caricature of Latino Protestantism, Martinez's narrative is a necessary and powerful unearthing of the deep histories and diverse contributions of one of the fastest growing and most influential groups in American Christianity.
