Description: Presented here for the first time in the English language are studies that originally appeared, some in Spanish and some in Portuguese, in the journal Revista de Interpretacion Biblica Latinoamericana.

In Latin America the Bible has always been a site of partisan debate about the legitimacy of prevailing cultural practices and the utopian demand for the proper, better construction of a new world order. These studies represent a contemporary instance of the same insistence, on the basis of biblical reasoning, that a more satisfying social arrangement be developed in Latin America.
