Ably compiled, organized, and co-edited by Orlando O. Espin (Professor of Systematic Theology, University of San Diego) and Gary Macy (Professor of Church History, University of San Diego), Futuring Our Past: Explorations In The Theology Of Tradition is a collection of superbly presented analytical essays pertaining to Roman Catholic and Latino/as Catholic traditions and religious heritage. Knowledgeably authored by an impressive group of scholarly writers, the essays and commentaries comprising Futuring Our Past provides readers with an excellent understanding of "traditioning", representing the Roman Catholic influence upon Latino cultural traditions and pre-Christian beliefs. A welcome and seminal contribution to Catholic Studies, Futuring Our Past is very highly recommended for its scholarly exploration of the ideas and ideals in Latino/as traditionalism which will prove to be of special interest to students of sociology, Latino history, religion, and culture.
