With unsurpassed knowledge of Latin American history, John Lynch sets out to explore the reception of Christianity by native peoples and how it influenced their social and religious lives as the centuries passed. As attentive to modern times as to the colonial period, Lynch also explores the extent to which Indian religion and ancestral ways survived within the new Christian culture. The book follows the development of religious culture by focusing on peak periods of change: the response of religion to the Enlightenment, the emergence of the Church from the wars of independence, the Romanization of Latin American religion as the papacy overtook the Spanish crown in effective control of the Church, the growing challenge of liberalism and the secular state, and, in the twentieth century, military dictators' assaults on human rights. Throughout the narrative, Lynch develops a number of special themes and topics. Among these are the Spanish struggle for justice for Indians, the Church's position on slavery, the concept of popular religion as distinct from official religion and the development of liberation theology."--book jacket.  aAvailable via the World Wide Web.  aElectronic reproduction.nMode of access: World Wide Web.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aLatin AmericaxChurch history. 0aLatin AmericaxReligionxHistory. 0aElectronic books.2 aJSTOR (Organization)08iPrint version:aLynch, John, 1927-tNew worlds.dNew Haven : Yale University Press, 2012z9780300166804w(DLC)  2011041757w(OCoLC)757838308. 0aJSTOR ebooks - DDA.
