Extensive interviews with Mexican Catholics are presented which demonstrate these emphases. The nature of Sixteenth-Century Spanish Catholicism and Pre-Columbian Nahuatl faith, as well as the current theology of Elizondo and Deck are studied to understand the characteristics and background of this faith experience. Finally, the Southern California youth movement \u003ci\u003eJovenes Para Christo\u003c\/i\u003e is studied as an expression of this faith. The complete results of the interviews as well as \u003ci\u003eJovenes Para Cristo\u003c\/i\u003e source documents are included as appendices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Thies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820420131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820420134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Jeffrey Thies","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457734226175,"sku":"9780820420134","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5ccaa82-d9ad-410f-aa29-7aeca7c0f5ce.jpg?v=1777400715","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mexican-catholicism-in-southern-california-jeffrey-thies-9780820420134","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
