Originally published in 2002, Changing Tides introduced a new era in Latin America's major contribution to global mission by one of its leading spokesmen, Samuel Escobar. Much of the change Escobar identified is still unfolding. With the first edition out of print, Regnum Books is delighted to publish this updated and expanded volume to the English-speaking world.
J. Samuel Escobar Aguirre was a Peruvian evangelical theologian, missiologist, educator, and author, known for his influential role in shaping Latin American evangelical theology and global evangelical engagement with social justice. A founding leader of the Latin American Theological Fellowship (Spanish: Fraternidad Teológica Latinoamericana), Escobar was widely recognized as a key architect of contextual theology in Latin America and a vocal advocate for integrating evangelical faith with sociopolitical responsibility.
