Plagues, Priests, and Demons: Sacred Narratives and the Rise of Christianity in the Old World and the New
Reff, Daniel T. (Ohio State University)
Plagues, Priests, and Demons is a comparative, interdisciplinary study of the rise of Christianity in the late Roman Empire and colonial Mexico. Analysis of early Christian and Spanish missionary texts reveals that epidemic disease undermined pre-Christian societies, encouraging pagan and Indian interest in new forms of social and religious life.
