Justo González is a true giant among theologians of our time. He is a consummate historian, an able biblical scholar, a resourceful and creative contextual theologian. He has been a boundary-breaking pioneer in the area of Hispanic or Latino/a theology, not only in terms of his voluminous and insightful writings but in his leadership of initiatives that have promoted theological scholarship among younger Latino/a scholars. In addition, his work has nourished the thought of an entire generation of theologians across cultures and Christian church affiliations. This book traces Justo González' development as a theologian, scholar, historian, and administrator, telling an amazing story of an amazing man. It is beautifully and masterfully written, showing the author's deep admiration and affection for a genuine and beloved "father" of our church today.
