This volume of the Journal of Latin American Theology and the spring 2020 volume are dedicated to providing an up-to-date analysis of Christianity in current Latin America societies. This issue focuses on Mexico, Central America, and parts of the Caribbean (Puerto Rico and Haiti). An excellent array of Christian leaders representing these regions have risen to the task. First, they situate readers in the contemporary political and social context of their country. Next, they describe contemporary Christianity in their nation, both Protestant and Catholic, as the respective churches respond to their national challenges. Then they explore what followers of Jesus in their countries would want to share with the larger worldwide church and what Christians in their nations need to learn from Christian sisters and brothers from around the globe. Mexico is covered by Rebeca Montemayor and Javier Ulloa; Guatemala by Miguel Reyes; Honduras by Enrique Martínez; El Salvador by Miguel Reyes; Nicaragua by Freddy Méndez; Costa Rica by Dorothy and Fernando Bullón; Puerto Rico by Wilmer Estrada-Carrasquillo; and Haiti by Dieumeme Noelliste. This volume together with the upcoming spring issue will make an excellent textbook in universities and seminaries for all who want to understand Latin American Christianity today. We pray that these country studies will lead readers to prayers and acts solidarity and to reflection upon how God is walking among us in our various contexts.
