Introduction : the Vieques story and the critical task of a Puerto Rican decolonial theology -- The story of Puerto Rican oppression and resistance -- Bridging the Puerto Rican story and Christian doctrine -- The works of Esmerelda Santiago : Puerto Rican identity and Christian anthropology -- The works of Pedro Juan Soto : Puerto Rican suffering and Christian soteriology -- The works of Rosario Ferré : Puerto Rican hope and Christian eschatology -- Conclusion : the best of witnesses among the dry bones. This book explores the themes of identity, suffering, and hope in the stories of Puerto Rican people to surface the anthropology, soteriology, and eschatology of a Puerto Rican decolonial theology. Using an interdisciplinary methodology of dialogue between literature and theology, this study reveals the oppression, resistance, and theological vision of the Puerto Rican community. It demonstrates how Puerto Rican literature and Puerto Rican theology are prophetic voices calling out for the liberation of a suffering people, on the island and in the Puerto Rican Diaspora, while employing personal Puerto Rican family/community stories as an authoritative contextual reference point. This work stands within the continuum of contextual theology and diasporic studies of religion in the United States, as well as research in the interdisciplinary field of decolonial and post-colonial studies.
