Santa Biblia

by Justo L. González

Book Overview

Gonzalez explores how a Hispanic perspective illuminates the biblical text in ways that will be valuable not only for Latino readers but also for the church at large. Introducing five paradigms for Latino biblical interpretation, Gonzalez discusses theory and provides concrete examples of biblical texts that gain new meaning when read from a different perspective.

Customer Reviews

Helpful for understanding Latino culture

This book is helpful for understanding Latino culture, even if one is not a Christian. The author is humble and insightful. If one is Christian, I believe this book will help broaden one's understanding of the Bible, although the book isn't a bible study per se.

Justo Did it Again!

Staring at the words of this book was like staring at fire, at times the heat was intense but its beauty definitely absorbed me. Insightful, Moving and Re-assuring.

Excellent

This is an excellent book that shows how Hispanics have read the Bible in the past and continue to do so today. Recomended for non-Hispanics who want to understand the Hispanic's hermeneutics and for Hispanics who longed for religious scholarly literature that deals with their most pressing issues in the area of biblical interpretation.
