The Catecismo of Martín Pérez de Ayala

World Religions

“Straddling the border of the Islamic and Christian worlds, Spain is a fascinating historical case study for Muslim-Christian relations. This book immerses us in the Iberian Peninsula of the Late Middle Ages for a rich, nuanced, and sympathetic investigation into the evangelistic writings of Father Martín Pérez de Ayala, reluctant missionary to the Morisco Muslims. We emerge with timeless lessons for positive Christian engagement with Muslims.”
