These texts played an important role in the evangelization of central Mexico and Yucatan. Translated Christianities is the first book to provide readers with English translations of a variety of Nahuatl and Maya religious texts. It pulls Nahuatl and Maya sermons, catechisms, and confessional manuals out of relative obscurity and presents them to the reader in a way that illustrates similarities, differences, and trends in religious text production throughout the colonial period. The texts included in this work are diverse. Their authors range from Spanish ecclesiastics to native assistants, from Catholics to Methodists, and from sixteenth-century Nahuas to nineteenth-century Maya. Although translated from its native language into English, each text illustrates the impact of European and native cultures on its content. Medieval tales popular in Europe are transformed to accommodate a New World native audience, biblical figures assume native identities, and texts admonishing Christian behavior are tailored to meet the demands of a colonial native population. Moreover, the book provides the first translation and analysis of a Methodist catechism written in Yucatec Maya to convert the Maya of Belize and Yucatan. Ultimately, readers are offered an uncommon opportunity to read for themselves the translated Christianities that Nahuatl and Maya texts contained. 410 0$aLatin American originals. 606 $aAztecs$xReligion 606 $aMayas$xReligion 606 $aChristian literature, Spanish$vTranslations into Nahuatl 606 $aChristian literature, Spanish$vTranslations into Maya 606 $aChristianity and culture$zMexico$xHistory 615 0$aAztecs$xReligion. 615 0$aMayas$xReligion. 615 0$aChristian literature, Spanish 615 0$aChristian literature, Spanish 615 0$aChristianity and culture$xHistory. 676 $a299.78452 700 $aChristensen$b Mark Z.$01182881 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815426003321 996 $aTranslated Christianities$93981811 997 $aUNINA
