About This Book
"The mainline church has a future, Harold Recinos argues. That future lies in shaping and amending culture in response to the work of God in human history. And where better for the emendations to take place than at the margins of society? Thus Recinos places the mainline churches in the barrio, which is judged by society to be inferior, worthless, and productive of no good thing."--BOOK JACKET.
"Drawing on the biblical witness, Recinos develops a perspective that demonstrates God's identification with those whom society deems weak and lowly. God-in-Jesus is enfleshed in Nazareth, in Galilee. Nazareth, thought to be an inferior and worthless place, supports God on its barrio streets. Far from the Temple, Jesus first reveals the God of the poor and lowly."--BOOK JACKET.
"Recinos calls mainline Christians to step outside their institutional turf to work among the marginalized where society and barrio Christianity will combine to clarify the cultural role of Christians - to respond to the work of God in human history."--BOOK JACKET.
