In this book chapter Senior Fellow José Casanova examines the history of Asian Catholicism from the colonial period to the modern period of globalization. In doing so, Casanova pays special attention to the religious-secular dynamic in the region and uses the experience of Jesuit missions as a lens through which to view this dynamic. This essay is part of the collection The Secular in South, East, and Southeast Asia, edited by Kenneth Dean and Peter van der Veer.
