Inescapable Altar: Religion and Civilization in Mesoamerica

In this interdisciplinary study, Steven R. Martins examines the religious foundations of Mesoamerican civilization through the lenses of history, archaeology, theology, and presuppositional apologetics. Tracing the beliefs of the Maya and Mexica peoples from their cosmological origins to the collapse of the Aztec Empire, he argues that Mesoamerica provides a compelling case study in mankind's inescapable religious nature and the consequences of suppressing the knowledge of the true God. Situating indigenous traditions within a broader biblical framework, Martins offers a distinctive Christian interpretation of one of the ancient world's most fascinating civilizations.
