Good and Faithful Christians: Moriscos and Catholicism in Early Modern Spain.

by James B. Tueller

A valuable analysis, James Tueller’s book challenges Pascual Boronat’s interpretations of the Moriscos expulsion from Spain. His work explores the Catholic hierarchy of early modern Spain and its attempted conversion of the Morisco population to Catholicism, considering the previously dismissed contradictions to the positions of Figuero and Sobrino. A balanced history, Good and Faithful Moriscos and Catholicism in Early Modern Spain offers a wider perspective of the cross-cultural change, conversion, and adaptation. Fundamental for Iberian Studies; Early Modern History; History of Islam; History of Christianity.
