Franciscan Spirituality and Mission in New Spain, 1524-1599 (eBook, ePUB)

Conflict Beneath the Sycamore Tree (Luke 19:1-10)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Franciscans in sixteenth-century New Spain were deeply ambivalent about their mission work. Fray Juan de Zumárraga, the first archbishop of Mexico, begged the king to find someone else to do his job so that he could go home. This discontent was widespread, grew stronger with time, and carried important consequences for the friars' interactions with indigenous peoples, their Catholic co-laborers, and colonial society at large. This book examines that discontent and seeks to explain why the exhilaration of joining such a 'glorious' enterprise so often gave way to grinding discontent.
