Summary
A description of the confrontation in Maya communities in the latter part of the 20th century between Maya and Catholic theological worldviews in crisis. The Mayans' loss of land and extreme poverty brought their theology into question since the covenant with their gods was supposed to protect their communities, but the Catholic Church's attempt to evangelize them according to the Catholic worldview formulated by the 16th century Council of Trent did little to alleviate the crisis.

Summary
The core of this book focuses on the current study of Mayan hieroglyphics as inspired by the recently deceased Mayanist Linda Schele. As author or coauthor of more than 200 books or articles on the Maya, Schele served as the chief disseminator of knowledge to the general public about this ancient Mesoamerican culture, similar to the way in which Margaret Mead introduced anthropology and the people of Borneo to the English-speaking world.
