Description
This volume continues the vivid chronicle of the Dominican missionaries in the early 1600s, picking up the story where the previous books left off. It follows the lives of figures such as Fray Luis Gandullo, Fray Miguel de San Jacinto, and the newly documented Diego de Soria, offering a window into their spiritual zeal and the hardships they endured while establishing the Dominican province in the Philippines.
The narrative intertwines accounts of daring evangelization among the native peoples, the Chinese community of Manila, and the perilous situation in Japan as persecution intensifies. Readers will discover how missionaries like Fray Francisco de San Joseph Blancas mastered Tagalog and Chinese, introduced printing to the islands, and built churches that blended local craftsmanship with European design. Beautiful facsimiles of period maps and an autograph signature enrich the text, giving a tangible sense of the era’s geography and personal devotion.
