indigenous Christianities in the Americas. This volume is a significant contribution to colonial scholarship. Despite an emphasis on Mexican case studies, it includes other geographical regions and native languages, illustrating the multiple scenarios that originated from the colonial encounter between European–indigenous worlds, actors, and processes. Using the corpus of ecclesiastic and linguistic documentary sources written in indigenous languages, each chapter illustrates innovative approaches that challenge the narrowperception of a one-way “spiritual conquest,” engaging the reader with the complexities of translating (converting)Christianity into a new (geographical) context with a multiplicity of native cultures and languages. Playing with the Mesoamerican lexical semantics of “translation,”or “the turning ofwords,” as a process of shifting positionswithout total conversion, the book reminds us that natives ultimately held an upper hand in adopting, recasting, accommodating, and manipulating missionary teachings to fit their worldviews and cultural practices.
