5.0 out of 5 stars
Literal Soul Studies, July 20, 1999
This review is from: Contracting Colonialism: Translation and Christian Conversion in Tagalog Society Under Early Spanish Rule (Paperback)
The syncretic religion of the Philippines has often been seen as a failure to fully grasp a chosen truth. In Contracting Colonialism, Rafael is able to clarify this misunderstanding with a combination of historical accounts and a powerful insight. With this book, Vincente Rafael not only presents an excellent exercise for the mind, but he also establishes a strong reason for Spain's 'sweeping conversion' of the Tagalog tribe of the Philippines...Rafael has loosened the knot of faith's blindfold.

I can't even find info on my topic! I really wish if you advertise you could at least give a one page interpretation. I need the real stuff!--
