Are they equipped to do ministry in different cultural modes and to handle disruption and perplexity? What are Christians to make of the Holy Spirit's occasional encounters with cultures and religions of the Americas before the European conquest?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOscar García-Johnson explores a new grammar for the study of theology and mission in global Christianity, especially in Latin America and the Latinx \"third spaces\" in North America.

He calls for a \"rerouting of theology\"--a realization that theology cannot make its home in Christendom but is a global creation that must come home to a church without borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume García-Johnson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econsiders pneumatological insights into de\/postcolonial studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etraces independent epistemic contributions of the American Global South\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eshows how American indigenous, Afro-Latinx, and immigrant communities provide resources for a decolonial pneumatology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edescribes four transformations the American church must undergo to break free from colonial, modernist, and monocultural structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpirit Outside the Gate\u003c\/i\u003e opens a path for a pneumatological missiology that can help the church act as a witness to the gospel message in a postmodern, postcolonial, and post-Christendom world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMissiological Engagements charts interdisciplinary and innovative trajectories in the history, theology, and practice of Christian mission, featuring contributions by leading thinkers from both the Euro-American West and the majority world whose missiological scholarship bridges church, academy, and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOscar García-Johnson is associate professor of theology and Latino\/a studies and assistant provost for the Center for the Study of Hispanic Church and Community at Fuller Theological Seminary.
