Synopsis

Uses a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the transcultural phenomenon of the devil in early modern Peru. This work demonstrates that the interaction between the Christian and the Andean worlds was far more complex than any interpretation that posits a clear dichotomy between conversion and resistance would suggest.

Media Reviews
'A fascinating book that is well written, competently documented, and sure to generate meaningful debate and discussion.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'Redden reconstructs a rich and engaging tapestry of voices without falling into simplistic dichotomies or anachronistic categorisations. By examining theological and political debates from the perspective of individual experience, Redden's study provides invaluable insights into vice-regal Peruvian society and the process of evangelism in the Americas in general.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'learned and well-documented ... Redden succeeds in providing new insights into critical issues of colonialism, including evangelisation, the juxtaposition of European and indigenous beliefs, race, and the marginalisation of non-elites.'
