✦ Synopsis
allowed or translated? Were indigenous people supplied with translations of the Book of Revelation or the Hebrew prophets like Daniel or Amos? There is already some suggestion that the answer might be a nuanced yes to all of the above.
Having noted these lacunae, I should say that the serious researcher, especially in religious studies, will delight in the extensive bibliography (although be somewhat annoyed that the periodical articles only appear in the footnotes.) The notes suggest that there is a wealth of discoveries to be made in the rarely plowed terrain of Latin American millennial movements and that only a cross-disiplinary approach like that of Frank Graziano will be successful. I'm waiting for the illustrated edition of this exciting and ingenious material-and maybe even the screenplay!
