Description: "Since the inception of the Society of Jesus in 1540, missionary work has played a significant role in Jesuit identity. From Paraguay to Mexico City and Baja California, the work of Jesuit missionaries has in turn had a lasting effect on the history, faith, identity, and culture of much of the New World. Basing his study on more than two hundred years of original military, civil, and Jesuit documents, Martinez presents a comprehensive account of Jesuit missionary efforts in colonial Mexico.

Not Counting the Cost faithfully chronicles an important period of religious and cultural history, including some elements that are available to English-speaking readers for the first time."--BOOK JACKET.
