Religion and faith in Latin America is not just a description of Protestant work in Latin America. It is a wide view of Latin American culture - the ideological influences which have formed it, its geographical factors, social ferment, political instability, and economic problems. It is a brilliant study of the contributions of the Spaniard, Portuguese, Indian, mestizo, and Negro, and of the way in which pre-Columbian religions laid the foundations for atti- tudes toward religion and the state, later becoming uniquely fused with Roman Catholicism. Dr. Rycroft declares the necessity to differentiate between religion and faith and emphasizes the urgency of Latin America's need for a dynamic faith. Closing with a note of hope, he describes the large and growing body of Evangelical believers in Latin America - the vanguard of a New Reformation, already begun among the people of Latin America. This vigorous and sympathetic treatment of Latin America's spiritual needs and possibilities will interest many readers. Not only ministers, teachers, and students of Latin America, but laymen of many denominations will find the book extremely provocative and full of striking new insights into the actual condition of the many-faceted Latin American scene. It will, of course, be of particular interest for interdenominational study groups on Latin America.
