The great island : studies in the exploration and evangelization of Mindanao
Bernad, Miguel A.
The great island : studies in the exploration and evangelization of Mindanao - Quezon City Ateneo de Manila University Press - xiii, 305 pages : maps, illustrations;
Includes index
The exploration and evangelization of Mindanao involved courage, perseverance, and ingenuity in the part of missionaries and explorers. While some of the essays in this book afford a glimpse at the endeavor, they deal with only a small part of the great enterprise. The essays, each a product of reflection and historical research, deal in turn with the controversy about the site of the first Mass; beginnings of evangelization; construction of the first church; the exploration of the largest river system of the island; the early attempts to climb the highest mountain; and Rizals four-year stay in Dapitan.
