Editor's Note
The editors of Horizons select works for review symposia based on the quality of the book, its contribution to theology, and the importance of the topic for our readers. Some texts provide particularly timely opportunities that cannot be ignored. In light of the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria and the death-dealing devastation of the hurricane for the people of Puerto Rico, the editors seized the possibility to train attention on the slow and continuing task of recovery by conducting a symposium on A Puerto Rican Decolonial Theology by Teresa Delgado.
