About the author
Andrew Redden is the author of Diabolism in Colonial Peru, 1560-1750, an academic study of how the figure of the devil functioned across the encounter between Christian and Andean religious worlds in early modern Peru. Drawing on a multidisciplinary approach, the book argues against a simple picture of conversion opposed to resistance, showing instead a more complicated exchange between missionary Christianity and Andean belief. Published by Routledge, it is a work of colonial and religious history rather than a practical or devotional text, aimed at readers interested in the history of demonology, missionary encounters, and the religious culture of Spanish America.
