Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of the history of Latina/x/o religious studies and focuses on the particular history of Latina/x/o Christian studies. The chapter offers a genealogy of scholarship on US Latina/x/o from the 1960s to the present. Scholarship from the 1960s and 1970s on US Latina/x/o mostly omitted religion, while scholarship of the 1980s and 1990s tended to focus on institutional Christianity and the various denomination leaders. More recent scholarship of US Latina/x/o attempts to offer a more balanced approach, focusing on institutional as well as more popular, “lived” manifestations of Christianity. Moreover, recent scholarship addresses religion as an integral component of the broader histories of US Latina/x/o. Current scholarship on US Latina/x/o Christianity seeks to address the intersectionalities of ethnicity, migration, religion, and gender.
