From Conquest to Struggle: Jesus of Nazareth in Latin America [Paperback] Batstone, David

**From Conquest to Struggle: Jesus of Nazareth in Latin America** throws open the doors on how Christianity landed in Latin America and what happened next (spoiler: it's complicated). David Batstone tackles the messy, fascinating story of how Jesus got tangled up with colonialism, liberation theology, and social justice movements across the Americas.

This isn't your Sunday school version of religious history. Batstone digs into the real stuff—how indigenous communities reshaped Christianity, how the Church both oppressed and liberated, and why Jesus became a revolutionary figure for the poor and marginalized. Perfect for theology students, history buffs, anyone curious about Latin American culture, or folks who like their religion with a side of social consciousness.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks comes with that perfect broken-in feel and all the knowledge intact.

**Reader Reviews:**
"Finally, a book that doesn't sugarcoat religious colonization while still finding hope in the struggle."
"Batstone makes complex theological concepts totally accessible—learned more in 200 pages than a semester of church history."
