Philippine Christianity: 500 Years of Resistance and Accommodation
摘要
This introductory chapter focuses on some highlights of Philippine Christianity as it developed in the colonial—333 years under Spanish rule (1565–1898) and 48 years under the US-American regime (1898–1946)—as well as the post-colonial contexts with a particular focus on the resistance and accommodation in the Philippines and the diaspora, as this has been inspired by the Christian faith.
