Prayer Theology

In this biblical, theological, and contextual study of prayer, Dr. Mireya Álvarez argues that Latino Pentecostals practice prayer as a way to enter into the presence of God. In the Latino community, the manifestations of the Holy Spirit are experienced in spontaneous prayers, joyful singing, speaking in tongues, and in an openness to unplanned liturgical movement. For immigrants undergoing culture shock and feelings of disorientation, the church becomes a community of acceptance and consolation where they can cry, laugh, and express unrestrained worship.

Prodigals digs deeply into each line from Jesus's famous parable about the prodigal son, inviting all listeners—those down on their luck or high on their horse—to identify as prodigals. A prodigal is anyone who accepts they have a sinful human nature and turns toward the love of home, the place where we find a deeper relationship with God. Rather than divide the world into prodigals and nonprodigals, Taylor invites listeners to find themselves in the teaching of Jesus as either younger or elder siblings.

In The Cross and Its Meaninglessness, Timothy John Tracy has taken thousands of years of Christian religious doctrine surrounding the Crucifixion and turned it on its head.
