- Justo L. González at one point calls this tendency “ Fuenteovejuna theol-
ogy,” which is in reference to a Lope de Vega play that stresses communal
solidarity in the midst of oppression. See Mañana: Christian Theology from
a Hispanic Perspective (Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1990), 28–30.
- For more on this point, see Miguel A. De La Torre and Edwin David
Aponte, Introducing Latino/a Theologies (Maryknoll: Orbis, 2001), 65–66.
- And it could very well be the case that Dabney has made these proposals in
light of the sensitivities toward contextualization present in the work of his
Doktorvater , Jürgen Moltmann.

- Those engaged in Pentecostal scholarship have been repeatedly attuned to
this point. See for instance, Dale T. Irvin, “‘Drawing All Together in One
Bond of Love’: The Ecumenical Vision of William J. Seymour and the
Azusa Street Revival,” Journal of Pentecostal Theology 6 (April 1995):
25–53.
- I have been aided in the cultivation of this sensibility not only by Latino/a
theology but also through Oliver Davies and his “Transformation
Theology” initiative. See his Theology of Transformation: Faith, Freedom,
and the Christian Act (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013) for some
gestures toward the point.
- This point is another one repeatedly raised in Pentecostal scholarship. See,
for instance, Steven J. Land, Pentecostal Spirituality: A Passion for the
Kingdom (JPTS 1; Sheffi eld: Sheffi eld Academic Press, 1994) and Samuel
Solivan, The Spirit, Pathos and Liberation: Toward an Hispanic Pentecostal
Theology (JPTS 14; Sheffi eld: Sheffi eld Academic Press, 1998).
- John Gallegos, a doctoral student of mine, is pursuing this line of inquiry
as part of his dissertation, namely how the theme of fi esta is quite suitable
for describing a Latino/a Pentecostal ecclesiology.
