|
Carlos Mondragon's Like Leaven in the Dough offers an introduction to the ideas of notable Protestant writers in Latin America during the first half of the twentieth century. His thesis is that, despite their national and denominational differences, Protestant intellectuals developed a coherent set of ideas about freedom of religion and thought, economic justice, militarism, and national identity. This was a period when Protestants comprised a very small portion of Latin America's total population, but their very marginality compelled them to think creatively about their identity and place in Latin American society. Accused of embracing a foreign faith, these Protestants struggled to define national identities that had room for religious diversity and liberty of consciousness. Marginalized and persecuted themselves, Latin America's Protestants articulated a liberating message decades before the appearance of catholic Liberation theology.
