Portuguese translation, by Maria de Lucena Barros e Sá Contreiras, of The Church Militant and Iberian Expansion, 1440-1770 (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1978), a text originating from the Johns Hopkins Symposia in Comparative History. In this work, Boxer analyzes the role of Portuguese and Spanish Catholic missionaries in Iberian overseas expansion, viewing the Church as an institution that is simultaneously human and divine. He structures the study around four axes: the relations between regular and secular clergy; the mission as a frontier institution in diverse climates and cultures; the inseparable link between the Cross and the Crown, embodied in the patronage system; and the role of the Inquisition overseas. A comprehensive overview of missionary work and the relationship between the Church and Iberian colonial expansion. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
