The conquest of Latin America began 500 years ago and continues today with the current forces of neo-colonization and a brutal global capitalistic system, resulting in increasing poverty, inequality and the exploitation of Latin America's natural resources and society. This challenges the socio-economic, environmental, political, religious and familial structures completely altering where people live, how they live and make decisions and how they relate to one another and their surroundings. This study has revealed six significant and interrelated issues that challenge the traditional views of the Latin American church and provide new theological, ecclesiological and missiological insights for its integral ministry throughout the region. These issues are: (1) People are still being forced into poverty; (2) The church in Latin America is still struggling with contextualization of the gospel; (3) Creation care needs to be recovered as a responsibility of the church; (4) The hope of renewal in the Roman Catholic Church; (5) Barriers to and opportunities for building a biblical community; and (6) Propagating an integral mission consistent with the Lukan view of salvation.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The conquest of Latin America began 500 years ago and continues today with the current forces of neo-colonization and a brutal global capitalistic system, resulting in increasing poverty, inequality and the exploitation of Latin America's natural resources and society. This challenges the socio-economic, environmental, political, religious and familial structures completely altering where people live, how they live and make decisions and how they relate to one another and their surroundings. This study has revealed six significant and interrelated issues that challenge the traditional views of the Latin American church and provide new theological, ecclesiological and missiological insights for its integral ministry throughout the region. These issues are: (1) People are still being forced into poverty; (2) The church in Latin America is still struggling with contextualization of the gospel; (3) Creation care needs to be recovered as a responsibility of the church; (4) The hope of renewal in the Roman Catholic Church; (5) Barriers to and opportunities for building a biblical community; and (6) Propagating an integral mission consistent with the Lukan view of salvation.
520 $a Based on the premise that the church has perhaps contributed to the problems of the Latin American region rather than serving as an agent of God's solution, the researchable problem of this project is threefold. (1) It briefly explores the historical development of Latin America to provide a context for understanding the churches. (2) Utilizing a grounded theory approach to the data collected in 48 personal interviews, it investigates the current practices and theology of some of the Roman Catholic, Mainline Protestant and Pentecostal Protestant churches in main cities of four Latin American countries (Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Argentina) in order to understand their theological views and involvement in mission. (3) It evaluates how Luke 4:16-30; 5:27-32; 19:1-10; Acts 2:42-47; and 4:32-37 provide a paradigm for integral mission in Latin America.
520 $a This research will provide missionaries and Latin American churches a broader and more relevant scope of Latin America's past and present history, combined with biblical and missiological strategies to produce an integral approach to ministry for future generations. It also provides a paradigm of doing mission based on a biblical view that perhaps will expand the Christian witness in all social, political, economic, environmental, and spiritual dimensions. Some of these findings may have larger, broader implications and applications for the global church.
