Book Description:
The sermons collected here in Spanish and English show how nineteenth century speakers attempted to interpret and apply the Word of God to everyday lives. Steele documents the attempts of all manner of laity and clergy Mexican Franciscans and Italian Jesuits, Hispanics and Anglos, Catholics, Methodists, and Presbyterians not only to interpret scripture but also to persuade people to amend their behavior. <P>With insightful and pithy introductions by Steele and meticulously documented throughout, this book examines the words as well as the contextualized meanings behind the words of some important New Mexican spiritual leaders. The persuasive purpose of the sermons takes the reader into the realm of 'authority,' quite a trek for the twentieth century reader more accustomed to the religion of comfort. Steele invites modern readers to reinvent themselves, to become, vicariously, believers: to listen with one hundred year old ears.
