Historia De La Conquista De Am – (Spanish)
$19.99
Jose Luis Rivera Pagan en su libro Historia de la conquista de America Evangelizacion y violencia nos describe como este libro se concibio en medio de los intensos debates sobre el quinto centenario del “descubrimiento de America”. Esos debates estimularon y fertilizaron la investigacion historica sobre los pueblos americanos. Tambien propicio la publicacion de grandes textos relativos al descubrimiento y la conquista, algunos ineditos durante varios siglos.
El libro se divide en tres partes. La primera –Descubrimiento, conquista y evangelizacion– relata los hechos desde una perspectiva critica, ante la cual se desvela el vinculo intimo entre el descubrimiento y la conquista, como una toma de posesion de tierras y personas, legitimada por conceptos, imagenes y simbolos religiosos. La segunda –Libertad y servidumbre en la conquista de America– analiza los elementos centrales de la gran porfia teorica de la conquista: la licitud de la abrogacion de la autonomia de los pueblos aborigenes y los sistemas de trabajo forzoso –esclavitud y encomienda– que se les impuso, tanto a ellos como a las comunidades africanas que se importaban en gran numero, como seres desprovistos de libertad politica y autonomia personal. La tercera –Hacia una critica teologica de la conquista– intenta desarrollar justamente lo que su titulo sugiere: una evaluacion no panegirica de la conquista a la luz de los conceptos, imagenes y simbolos evangelicos que ella misma enarbolo como su paradigma de legitimidad.
History of the conquest of America
Jose Luis Rivera Pagan in his book, The Conquest of America: Evangelization and violence, describes how this book was conceived in the midst of the intense debates on the fifth centenary of the “discovery of America”. These debates stimulated and fertilized historical research on the American peoples. It also encouraged the publication of the great texts relating to the discovery and conquest, some of which had remained unpublished for several centuries.
The book is divided into three parts. The first – “Discovery, Conquest and Evangelization”- relates the facts from a critical perspective, revealing the intimate link between discovery and conquest, as a takeover of land and people, legitimized by religious concepts, images and symbols. The second – “Freedom and servitude in the conquest of America”- analyzes the central elements of the great theoretical challenge of the conquest: the lawfulness of the abrogation of the autonom

Story Of Christianity 1
$46.65THE STORY OF CHRISTIANITY, VOLUME 1, is an informative, interesting, and consistently readable narrative history. It brings alive the people, dramatic events, and ideas that shaped the first fifteen centuries of the church’s life and thought–including major events outside of Europe, such as the Spanish and Portuguese conquest of the New World. Historian Justo Gonzalez shows how various social, political, and economic movements affected Christianity’s internal growth.
Gonzalez skillfully weaves in relevant details from the lives of prominent figures from the apostles to John Wycliffe, tracing out core theological issues and developments as reflected in the lives and stuggles of leading thinkers within the various traditions of the church. “The history of the church, while showing all the characteristics of human history, is much more than the history of an institution or movement,” Gonzalez stresses. “It is a history of the deeds of the spirit in and through the men and women who have gone before in the faith.” THE STORY OF CHRISTIANITY demonstrates at each point what new challenges and opportunities faced the church, and how Christians struggled with the various options open to them, thereby shaping the future direction of the church.
THE STORY OF CHRISTIANITY will serve as a fascinating introduction to the panoramic history of Christianity for students and teachers of church history, for pastors, and for general readers.
