Abstract

Chapter 5 concludes The Word Became Culture . This chapter retrieves and theologically explores latinamente las Cantigas de Santa María, a thirteenth-century manuscript of poems of Marian devotion that includes the earliest portrayal of a bat and ball game in the Iberian Peninsula. Carmen Nanko- Fernández breaks new theological ground in her option for culture as she “plays” theologically on the margins, and thereby, bridges sport and Catholic theology. Her constructive theological interpretation of Cantiga 42 explores not only the good life that sport may foster, but more important, the interrelationship and fluidity that characterizes lo popular at the intersections of popular Catholicism and popular culture. “Playing” within and outside the fields that shape our daily Latin@́ living (lo cotidiano) offers ancient roots and sources too often neglected in contemporary constructive theologies.
