The Catholic understanding of Tradition is not just about the preservation of ancient practices or customs; it is the process by which the faith is handed on (""traditioned"") from one generation to another. The essays in this volume, by scholars from a wide range of disciplines, center on two questions: How is the Christian tradition ""traditioned"" among Latino/as? And what impact does this ""traditioning"" have on the Tradition?
Futuring our Past is the first volume in a new Orbis series, published in cooperation with the Center for the Study of Latino/a Catholicism at the University of San Diego.
Aside from the editors, contributors include Bernard Cooke, Miguel H. Díaz, Michelle González, José R. Irizzary, Francisco Lozada, Jr., Daisy L. Machado, Nancy Pineda-Madrid, Gary Riebe-Estrella, Jean-Pierre Ruiz, and Theresa Torres.

Perhaps the most important histiographic innovation of the twentieth century was the application of the historical method to wider and more expansive areas of the past. Where historians once defined the study of history strictly in terms of politics and the actions and decisions of Great Men, historians today are just as likely to inquire into a much wider domain of the past, from the lives of families and peasants, to more abstract realms such as the history of mentalities and emotions. Historians have applied their method to a wider variety of subjects; regardless of the topic, historians ask questions, seek evidence, draw inferences from that evidence, create representations, and subject these representations to the scrutiny of other historians. This book severs the historical method from the past altogether by applying that method to a domain outside of the past. The goal of this book is to apply history-as-method to the study of the future, a subject matter domain that most historians have traditionally and vigorously avoided. Historians have traditionally rejected the idea that we can use the study of history to think about the future. The book reexamines this long held belief, and argues that the historical method is an excellent way to think about and represent the future. At the same time, the book asserts that futurists should not view the future as a scientist might--aiming for predictions and certainties--but rather should view the future in the same way that an historian views the past.

This connected series of stories does not pretend to be prophetic. It is a history, not of the future, but of a future -- an alternate-probability world which is logically self-consistent, dramatic, and recognizably an offshoot of our own past. The stories really do not form a linear series at all -- they are more like a pyramid, in which ealier stories provide a solid base for later ones to rest on. Partly because of this pyramiding of background and partly because of the author's broad knowledge, Heinlein's readers find themselves in a world which is clearly our own, only projected a few years or decades into the future. As for the still-unfolding future, there are guideposts and warnings here. Heinlein continually reminds us that history is a process, not something dead and embalmed in textbooks. - Introduction.

The history of our attitudes toward the possibilities of tomorrow:“A fascinating trek through American future visions from the 1920s to the present.” —Lori C. Walters, Ph.D., University of Central Florida The future is not a fixed idea but a highly variable one that reflects the values of those who are imagining it. By studying the ways that visionaries imagined the future—particularly that of America—in the past century, much can be learned about the cultural dynamics of the times. In this social history, Lawrence R. Samuel examines the future visions of intellectuals, artists, scientists, businesspeople, and others to tell a chronological story about the history of the future in the past century. He defines six separate eras of future narratives from 1920 to the present day, and argues that the milestones reached during these years—especially related to air and space travel, atomic and nuclear weapons, the women’s and civil rights movements, and the advent of biological and genetic engineering—sparked the possibilities of tomorrow in the public’s imagination, and helped make the twentieth century the first century to be significantly more about the future than the past. The idea of the future grew both in volume and importance as it rode the technological wave into the new millennium, and the author tracks the process by which most people, to some degree, have now become futurists as the need to anticipate tomorrow accelerates.
