Description: Presenting the first English translation and analysis of a recently discovered late colonial Maya Christian manuscript, this volume opens important new insights into how the Maya made sense of Christianity within their own worldview.

Brief description: Mark Z. Christensen is an associate professor of history at Assumption College. He is the author of Nahua and Maya Catholicisms: Texts and Religion in Colonial Central Mexico and Yucatan and Translated Christianities: Nahuatl and Maya Religious Texts.

Review Quotes: From the structure of the book to the analytical execution, Christensen has done an excellent job of allowing the Teabo Manuscript to speak for itself and tell the story recorded within it.-- "Reading Religion" (12/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)
