About this record

La Religión del Katipúnan is a foundational historical and political work by Filipino patriot and intellectual Isabelo de los Reyes (1864–1938). The full title suggests a philosophical defense (Tediceea Filipina or Theodicy) of the Katipunan, the revolutionary society that initiated the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule in 1896. This book, originally published earlier and re-issued in this 1914 second edition, analyzes the principles of the Katipunan and its role as the "Association of the Children of the People" (Asociación de los Hijos del Pueblo). It is particularly significant because it claims to contain a previously unpublished "Second part" (Segunda parte inédita) detailing the organization, secrets, and fundamental principles (principios fundamentales) of the Katipunan's modern "Bathalism" and its democratic morals. The work is a critical primary source for understanding the ideological underpinnings of the revolution, Philippine socio-political thought, and de los Reyes's influential role as an author, publisher, and founder of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente and the first labor union in the Philippines.

The book is considered valuable. It is advised that researchers use digital copy rather than physical books for preservation purposes. Date Created: 1900 (Second Edition). (Original dedication dated July 1898). Language Translation to English: The Religion of the Katipunan: or the Ancient [religion] of the Filipinos, just as it is now being resurrected by the Association of the Sons of the People (Katipunan), the promoter of the Revolution.
