Mission and Catechesis: Alexandre De Rhodes and Inculturation in Seventeenth-Century Vietnam (Faith and Cultures Series)

Book Overview

The history of 17th century Christian mission in the East is often told through the lives and works of Jesuits Matteo Ricci and Roberto de Nobili. But there is another story: that of Alexandre de Rhodes, S.J. (1593-1660) and his Catechismus, the first Christian theological work in Vietnamese.
