Description
This research answers the key question on how did the Latino/a Theologian Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz develop her theology Focusing on only three of her basic writings I analyzed from what source(s) she developed her theology by investigating carefully the topics and context in her texts and her life experiences. With further background information that I received from my mentor, who was a colleague and friend of the late professor Isasi-Diaz, I was able to describe and explain how she developed her theology and her major contributions to the field. This was a directed literature review maintaining my emphasis on her three books and some of her recorded conference talks. This research is different than other scholars who have answered the question of how she developed her theology, because few have undertaken the task to provide an analysis of her life experiences that led to her doing theology through a particular method. The impact of this research is to increase the awareness of the experiences theologians have which transform their way of developing theology, and this research offers what essentially needs to be understood to properly and thoroughly interpret the theology of Isasi-Diaz.
