To Heaven or to Hell - Bartolome de Las Casass ConfesionarioPaperback
This volume is the first complete English translation and annotated study of Bartolom de Las Casas's important and provocative 1552 treatise commonly known as the Confesionario or Avisos y reglas. He then presents the specific historical context of the development of the initial manuscript of the A text that generated controversy, like Las Casas's more famous Brevsima relacin, the Confesionario outlined a strikingly novel and arguably harsh use of confession for those administering the sacrament to conquistadores, encomenderos, slaveholders, settlers, and others who had harmed the indigenous people, thus using magisterial authority and jurisdictional power to promote restitution.David Orique addresses how, from 1516 to 1547, Las Casas subscribed to and wrote about the theory and practice of the doctrine of restitution.
