Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating Christian Granada provides a richly detailed examination of a critical and transitional episode in Spain's march to global empire. The city of Granada-Islam's final bastion on the Iberian peninsula-surrendered to the control of Spain's "Catholic Monarchs" Isabella and Ferdinand on January 2, 1492. Over the following century, Spanish state and Church officials, along with tens of thousands of Christian immigrant settlers, transformed the formerly Muslim city into a Christian one. With constant attention to situating the Granada case in the broader comparative contexts of the medieval reconquista tradition on the one hand and sixteenth-century Spanish imperialism in the Americas on the other, Coleman carefully charts the changes in the conquered city's social, political, religious, and physical landscapes. In the process, he sheds light on the local factors contributing to the emergence of tensions between the conquerors and Granada's formerly Muslim, "native" morisco community in the decades leading up to the crown-mandated expulsion of most of the city's moriscos in 1569-1570. Despite the failure to assimilate the moriscos, Granada's status as a frontier Christian community under construction fostered among much of the immigrant community innovative religious reform ideas and programs that shaped in direct ways a variety of church-wide reform movements in the era of the ecumenical Council of Trent (1545-1563). Coleman concludes that the process by which reforms of largely Granadan origin contributed significantly to transformations in the Church as a whole forces a reconsideration of traditional "top-down" conceptions of sixteenth-century Catholic reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta Vida del padre maestro Juan de Ávila escrita por fray Luis de Granada estuvo muy influido por el místico Juan de Ávila, cuya vida aquí se recoge, y ello levantó las sospechas de la Inquisición. Fragmento de la obra Aquel solícito padre de familias que a todas las horas del día anda cogiendo obreros para cultivar su viña, jamás deja pasar edad alguna que no despierte algunos muy señalados obreros, que con su trabajo e industria ayuden a esta labor. Entre los cuales fue Él servido de llamar este nuevo obrero, cuya vida comenzamos a escribir para gloria del mismo padre de las familias y de este obrero que Él escogió, suplicando al mismo padre que, pues este siervo suyo; pues es justo que sea glorificado en la tierra el que tanto procuró todo el tiempo que vivió glorificar al que reina en el cielo. Y aunque va poco en saber el origen de los padres que los siervos de Dios tuvieron en la tierra, pues tienen a Dios por padre en el cielo, todavía se suele esto escribir para gloria de la tierra que este fruto produjo, y de los padres que lo engendraron. Fue, pues, este siervo de Dios natural de Almodóvar del Campo, que es en el arzobispado de Toledo. Sus padres eran de los más honrados y ricos de este lugar y, lo que más es, temerosos de Dios; porque tales habían de ser los que tal planta habían de producir; y no tuvieron más que solo este hijo. Siendo él mozo de edad de catorce años, le envió su padre a Salamanca a estudiar Leyes, y poco tiempo después de haberlas comenzado le hizo Nuestro Señor merced de llamarle con un muy particular llamamiento. Y, dejado el estudio de las Leyes, volvió a casa de sus padres; y como persona ya tocada de Dios, les pidió que le dejasen estar en un aposento apartado de la casa, y así se hizo, porque era extraño el amor que le tenían. En este aposento tenía una celda muy pequeña y muy pobre, donde comenzó a hacer penitencia y vida muy áspera. Su cama era sobre unos sarmientos, y la comida era de mucha penitencia, añadiendo a esto cilicio y disciplinas. Los padres sentían esto tiernamente; mas no le contradecían, considerando, como temerosos de Dios, las mercedes que en esto les hacía. Perseveró en este modo de vida casi tres años. Confesábase muy a menudo, y su devoción comenzó por el Santísimo Sacramento, y así estaba muchas horas delante de él; y de ver esto, y la reverencia con que comulgaba, fueron muy edificados así los clérigos como la gente del lugar. Pasando por allí un religioso de la Orden de San Francisco, y maravillado de tanta virtud en tal edad, aconsejó a él y a sus padres que lo enviasen a estudiar a Alcalá, porque con sus letras pudiese servir mejor a Nuestro Señor en su Iglesia y así se hizo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Avila of Saint Teresa provides both a fascinating account of social and religious change in one important Castilian city and a historical analysis of the life and work of the religious mystic Saint Teresa of Jesus. Jodi Bilinkoff's rich socioeconomic history of sixteenth-century Avila illuminates the conditions that helped to shape the religious reforms for which the city's most famous citizen is celebrated. Bilinkoff takes as her subject the period during which Avila became a center of intense religious activity and the home of a number of influential mystics and religious reformers. During this time, she notes, urban expansion and increased economic opportunity fostered the social and political aspirations of a new "middle class" of merchants, professionals, and minor clerics. This group supported the creation of religious institutions that fostered such values as individual spiritual revitalization, religious poverty, and apostolic service to the urban community. According to Bilinkoff, these reform movements provided an alternative to the traditional, dynastic style of spirituality expressed by the ruling elite, and profoundly influenced Saint Teresa in her renewal of Carmelite monastic life. A focal point of the book is the controversy surrounding Teresa's foundation of a new convent in August 1562. Seeking to discover why people in Avila strenuously opposed this ostensibly innocent act and to reveal what distinguished Teresa's convent from the many others in the city, Bilinkoff offers a detailed examination of the social meaning of religious institutions in Avila. Historians of early modern Europe, especially those concerned with the history of religious culture, urban history, and women's history, specialists in religious studies, and other readers interested in the life of Saint Teresa or in the history of Catholicism will welcome The Avila of Saint Teresa.
