| Summary | "La Biblia en España, Tomo III (de 3)" by George Borrow is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work chronicles Borrow's adventurous efforts to disseminate the Christian Scriptures throughout Spain, detailing his interactions with various Spanish characters and the challenges he faced from the religious authorities. The narrative is rich in cultural observations and reflects on the political climate of the time, offering insight into Borrow's experiences in a deeply Catholic country. At the start of this volume, Borrow reflects on his recent travels in northern Spain and the modest successes he achieved in distributing copies of the New Testament during tumultuous political times. He describes the state of affairs in Madrid, noting the challenges posed by a new government and the ongoing resistance from the clergy against his efforts to promote the Scriptures. The opening section also introduces a variety of characters, including an open-minded bookseller in Toledo and the abandoned wife of a prisoner, while offering vivid descriptions of Spanish life and society amidst the overarching theme of religious conflict and Borrow's steadfast commitment to his mission.
