Book Prize

This Book Prize recognizes distinguished contributions in religion and theology that critically engage Latine scholarship and communities, advancing understanding and promoting communal well-being. Each year, a book by a pre-tenure scholar is recognized and rewarded with an honorarium, and the winner is invited the opportunity to deliver an in-person book lecture at HTI’s annual Professional Development Conference, a recognized venue for scholarly exchange held each June at Princeton Theological Seminary.

The immediate and long-term goals are to:

• Inspire and amplify community-serving scholarship.
• Support emerging scholars on the path to tenure and leadership.
• Elevate exemplary books for teaching use and broader impact.

Past winners have included some of the foremost voices in Latine scholarship in the United States.
