As well as currently engaging in research exploring Christianity in and theological responses to modern Israel, King's Evangelical Divinity School (formerly Midlands Bible College and Divinity School) Principal Dr Calvin L. Smith is also presently researching Protestantism in Fidel Castro's Cuba to accompany his monograph on Protestantism in revolutionary Nicaragua, which was published by Brill Academic (Leiden and Boston) as part of their Religion in the Americas series in 2007.  Calvin has just been offered a second book contract, also with Brill, for his Cuba research. It will likewise be published as part of Brill's Religion in the Americas series, and the manuscript will be delivered to the publisher in July 2009 with a publication date for later that year.
