Pope Francis and the Search for God in America: The Significance of His Early Visits to the Americas

In Tutti Fratelli, Pope Francis has called again for a culture of encounter, But how should his theology, pastoral practice, and social message be understood and applied in the Church of the Americas, a single but complex reality that extends from South to North? This volume offers analyses from experts looking back to the Argentine pontiff’s first fateful encuentros in the Americas as a help for understanding the present reality of the Church in the Western Hemisphere. The group includes theologians, historians, and political scientists, and the unique contribution of the volume lies in the panoramic perspective offered by the book as a whole.

The initial essays set the stage for the volume as a whole, offering rich insight into Argentine and Latin American history, the world from which the Pope came and to which he returned in 2015, as well as surveying the impact of the Latin American theology of the people on the Pope’s visit to the U.S.

Additional essays address theological, historical, and pastoral engagements that cut across several of the visits. The final group of essays is dedicated to the visits themselves and is arranged in the order that they occurred. Pope Francis and the Search for God in America is offered to all the members of the Church in America, South and North, old and young, with the hope that it will spur even more thought, reflection, prayer, and service.
