When Mendicant friars converted the indigenous peoples of Mexico to Christianity in the years immediately following the Spanish conquest, they did so through the vehicle of moral dialogue. By learning the native Nahuatl language and studying Nahua (commonly called Aztec) culture, these early missionaries translated catechistic texts into terms that would prove meaningful to new converts. Analysis of these texts reveals how Christianity was accommodated to Aztec thought and how Mexican Catholocism itself was shaped by the intermingling of New and Old World concepts.

Cologne, 1999. 4to. 503 pages. Publisher´s boards. Richly illustrated in colours and b/w. Dust jacket is quite worn, otherwise nice. . (Könemann Verlagsgesellshaft mbH) Engelsk. “ Despite the work of christian missionaries an European colonialisation, Sub-Saharan Africa has never lost touch with its own deeply rooted spirituality.Africa´s ritual dimension, born of a religious attitude towards life and death, toward family and ancestors, and the need to seek protection from evil spirits, forms the core of this book. Here are the secret customs, beliefs, and rituals never before seen in photographs, the power of oracles and initiation ceremonies are derived from a culture which through its myths attemts to grasp the meaning of nature , space and time, the gods and spirit, as well as interpret reality. With its insights into African ritual, closeness to nature, magic and witchcraft, ancestor worship, talismanic protection and healing methods, this book penetrates to the heart of African religion. “
