Online Library TheLib.net » Object and Apparition: Envisioning the Christian Divine in the Colonial Andes
This is a book about how a new religion was forged through images in the
early modern Andes. After the Spanish conquest of Peru in 1532, the colonizers
began to entice, cajole, and force the region’s native inhabitants to
forsake their own religions and convert to Christianity. By mandate of the
Spanish kings, as well as the pope in Rome, new arrivals in the Andes saw
their mission as part of a worldwide drive for Christian evangelization, one
that would prepare humankind for the Second Coming.
