In Like Leaven in the Dough: Protestant Social Thought in Latin America, 1920-1950, Carlos Mondragón offers an introduction to the ideas of notable Protestant writers in Latin America during the first half of the twentieth century. Despite their national and denominational differences, Mondragón argues that Protestant intellectuals developed a coherent set of ideas about freedom of religion and thought, economic justice, militarism, and national identity. This was a period when Protestants comprised a very small proportion of Latin America's total population; their very marginality compelled them to think creatively about their identity and place in Latin American society. Accused of embracing a foreign faith, these Protestants struggled to define national identities that had room for religious diversity and liberty of conscience. Marginalized and persecuted themselves, Latin America's Protestants articulated a liberating message decades before the appearance of Catholic Liberation Theology.
Carlos Mondragón is professor of both psychology and Latin American history at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City.
Daniel Miller is professor of history at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he teaches courses on the history of Latin America and Mexico.
Ben Post is a graduate student in Spanish at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
