Dr. Jose Mario Bautista Maximiano gives us the much-awaited MCMLXXII: 500-Taong Kristiyano (1872-1972) Volume Two as it picks up from where it left off in Volume One. This is a very timely account of Philippine Church History as we celebrate 500 Years of the coming of Christianity in the Philippines. It is released in partnership with the CBCP Episcopal Commission on Social Communications and Mass Media. In the Foreword, Most Reverend Socrates B. Villegas, D.D., Archbishop of Lingayen-Dagupan, congratulates the author “for giving us a scholarly but readable version of the Philippine Church History in ‘common language’ and down-to-earth writing style, as we give thanks to the Lord for the gift of 500 years of Christianity. To all readers, I pray that you enjoy the book and benefit from it.”
