520			_aLiberation theology is not just a recent phenomenon. The Catholic Church played a significant role in social action in colonial Latin America 500 years ago. At this time, the Church was easily the most important institution next to the royal government. The Church in Colonial Latin America is a collection that includes classic articles and pieces based on more modern research. Exploring the Catholic Church's active social and political influence, this volume provides the background necessary to grasp the importance of the Catholic Church in Latin America. This new volume also presents a comprehensive, analytic, and descriptive history of the Church and its development during the colonial period. From the evangelization of the New World by Spanish missionaries to the active influence of the Catholic Church on Latin American culture, this book offers a complete picture of the Church in colonial Latin America.
