Spanish work on missions in south america by looking at we did work with jesuit relations. The we did the novel and adaptation of the novel into a film. We have been into south america, france, japan. We have been doing this for weeks. The question maybe we can start our seminars off with this thursday is why . Why do we spend so much time talking about the jesuits . I have my own reasons and answers to that. I would like you to develop them. May write that down and make a note to yourself. Why are we spending so much time writing but the jesuits . It is something we can start the conversation off with. One of the things i should say as a way to segue into this discussion of i will come back to that. Really do inform and shape Protestant Missionary work in important ways. You guys probably know this from your western civilization course. The protestants and c
