Description

English translation of De Unico Vocationis Modo. This new version—the lost opening reconstructed, the massive proof texts banished, the original form restored—reveals the doctrine that guided Las Casas's career. In it he pleads for the way of Christ: evangelization by peaceful charity and respect, not by "fire and the Sword." Sullivan has given us a brilliant rendering of the powerful central version Fray Bartolomé composed at Oaxaca in 1539 to change the conscience of Christendom. The work makes the same appeal to conscience today.
