| Summary: | The issue of violence against women is no stranger to the people of Puerto Rico, which currently has the highest per capita rate in the world of women over 14 killed by their partners. Coming from a Puerto Rican heritage, the author presents findings that can move us toward a Pentecostal Puerto Rican way to reflect theologically on this issue, (Agustina Nuñez’s Loíza feast metaphor for example), while highlighting the stories of Puerto Rican women like Rev. Leoncia Rosado Rosseau and others, whose work in Pentecostal and other church traditions have addressed violence against women. The author also presents ways Nuñez’s metaphor and these stories go along with practice of the Eucharist. These elements challenge readers to address and push back ideas that promote violence against women while contributing to the Pentecostal and global conversation on violence against women. |
