Bartolomé de las Casas
For scholars of world Christianity, Bartolomé de las Casas is a fascinating figure. A missionary to the New World, he struggled to express a theology that could address the extraordinary conditions that colonial expansion and colonization created. In Bartolome de las Casas, O.P.: History, Philosophy, and Theology in the Age of European Expansion, prominent scholars from such disciplines as history, Latin American studies, literary criticism, philosophy, and theology come together to think about the man and his message. The volume was edited by David T. Orique, O.P. (Providence College) and Rady Roldán-Figueroa (Boston University), who also co-wrote the introduction and have chapters of their own in the volume.
