The book surveys how Christian messages were rendered in indigenous languages; explores what was added, transformed, or glossed over; and ends with an epilogue about contemporary Nahuatl Christianities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn eleven case studies drawn from eight Amerindian languages--Nahuatl, Northern and Valley Zapotec, Quechua, Yucatec Maya, K'iche' Maya, Q'eqchi' Maya, and Tupi--the authors address Christian texts and traditions that were repeatedly changed through translation--a process of \"turning around\" as conveyed in Classical Nahuatl. Through an examination of how Christian terms and practices were made, remade, and negotiated by both missionaries and native authors and audiences, the volume shows the conversion of indigenous peoples as an ongoing process influenced by what native societies sought, understood, or accepted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume features a rapprochement of methodologies and assumptions employed in history, anthropology, and religion and combines the acuity of of methodologies drawn from philology and historical linguistics with the contextualizing force of the ethnohistory and social history of Spanish and Portuguese America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e: Claudia Brosseder, Louise M.
