Note:"From Ancient Rome to Colonial Mexico compares the Christianization of the Roman Empire with the evangelization of Mesoamerica. With the analysis of empire and globalization and a postcolonial perspective on religion, the book proposes the method of "analytical comparison" to conceptualize affinities and differences between geographies."-- Provided by publisher.
