Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It would seem unlikely that one could discover tolerant religious attitudes in Spain, Portugal, and the New World colonies during the era of the Inquisition, when enforcement of Catholic orthodoxy was widespread and brutal. Yet this groundbreaking book does exactly that. Drawing on an enormous body of historical evidence—including records of the Inquisition itself—the historian Stuart Schwartz investigates the idea of religious tolerance and its evolution in the Hispanic world from 1500 to 1820. Focusing on the attitudes and beliefs of common people rather than those of intellectual elites, the author finds that no small segment of the population believed in freedom of conscience and rejected the exclusive validity of the Church. The book explores various sources of tolerant attitudes, the challenges that the New World presented to religious orthodoxy, the complex relations between “popular” and “learned” culture, and many related topics. The volume concludes with a discussion of the relativist ideas that were taking hold elsewhere in Europe during this era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Missions are memory sites for many descendants of colonial populations and for colonized Native Americans. As such, Spanish missions enshrine complex and contested memories for those whose long-term histories are implicated in the process of mission-building and conversion. From the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, Spanish missionaries traveled to America to convert Native Americans to Catholicism. Here, Franciscan and Jesuit dogma often conflicted with the pragmatic issues of the survival of both secular and missionary settlements. With cogent analysis of archaeological records, Maria F. Wade addresses the long-term processes of development of the mission as an institution in Florida, northern Mexico, Texas, and southwest California." "The missionaries who traveled to New Spain were prepared to wage a battle against evil. They had honed their conversion skills in the trials of the Inquisition against heresy, witchcraft, and on the tribulations of the Europeans afflicted with disease, poverty, and famine. The four geographic areas studied here represent stages (early, middle, and late) in the approach to conversion, all of which were influenced by Hapsburg and Bourbon political and military objectives. Vital to their efforts was the definition of the boundaries between good and evil, a demarcation that engendered conflict and proved a particularly trying point of conversion. Missionaries working in these regions generally encountered Native spiritual practices that did not fit idolatrous definitions. Thus, under the pressures of duty to God and country, these missionaries came to feel trapped by the very system they created." "Missions, Missionaries, and Native Americans provides in-depth information on varied missionary ambitions and native peoples' responses to evangelization and conversion, with an ethnohistorical and archaeological perspective on the structure and daily activities of early mission life."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martyrdom and the Politics of Religion explores the ways that Salvadoran Catholics sought to make sense of political violence in their country in the 1970s and 1980s by constructing a theological ethics that could both explain repression in religious terms and propose specific responses to violence. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the book highlights the ways that progressive Catholicism offered a justification and tools for political resistance in the face of extraordinary destruction. Using the case of Catholicism in El Salvador, the book explores the nature of religious responses to social crisis and the ways that ordinary believers construct and strive to live by ethical systems. By highlighting the importance of theological belief, of narrative, and of religious rationality in political mobilization, it touches questions of general interest to readers concerned with the social role of religion and ethics.
