  • Description: The articles collected in this special issue of the Journal of Early Modern Christianity deal with the topic of early-modern theologies of race in the age of European expansion. Contributors individually engage the broad question of how attributes of biological difference were construed in theological terms. In other words, they explore the intersectionality of theology and race as a category for the construction of anthropological difference. Moreover, these essays examine specific cases belonging to what can be described as the formative stage of peripheral Catholicism. Together they call our attention to the ways in which Catholics welded theological and racial discourses just as a wider institutional scaffolding was being erected around the globe as a result of missionary endeavors.
