South America and the Caribbean cover a vast geographical and cultural region, subdivided into many countries. The Spanish and Portuguese languages have afforded it a linguistic unity for over 500 years. The patristic sources and authors have been translated into these two languages, and research and teaching have been carried out in these languages. Over the last fifty years in this region, research in the field has been uneven, in some countries even non-existent. In the countries where there have been some signs of activity, it has also been uneven; but as one moves south, activity has been increasing, particularly in Brazil, Chile, and Argentina.
