Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) obtained papal approval in 1540 for a new international religious order called the Society of Jesus. Until the mid-1700s the 'Jesuits' were active in many parts of Europe and far beyond. Gaining both friends and enemies in response to their work as teachers, scholars, writers, preachers, missionaries and spiritual directors, the Jesuits were formally suppressed by Pope Clement XIV in 1773 and restored by Pope Pius VII in 1814. The Society of Jesus then grew until the 1960s; it has more recently experienced declining membership in Europe and North America, but expansion in other parts of the world. This Companion examines the religious and cultural significance of the Jesuits. The first four sections treat the period prior to the Suppression, while section five examines the Suppression and some of the challenges and opportunities of the restored Society of Jesus up to the present.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Worcester, Thomas, editor. The Cambridge Companion to the Jesuits. First paperback edition. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2008. Paperback, VG+. Covers with very minor shelfwear to corners; original price label on reverse. Binding strong and tight. xii, 361pp., b/w images. Contents clean and bright. In an introduction and eighteen essays, focuses principally on the early modern period, from Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), founder of the Jesuits, to the suppression of the Society of Jesus in the eighteenth century by Pope Clement XIV. Four of the five parts of the book treat this period: I. Ignatius of Loyola; II. European Foundations of the Jesuits; III. Geographic and Ethnic Frontiers; IV. Arts and Sciences. The last part, Jesuits in the Modern World, examines some key aspects of the Society of Jesus, from its suppression in 1773 and subsequent restoration in 1814, to the present. Lu Ann Homza's essay, the first in this Companion, examines the complexity of the religious culture Ignatius would have experienced in early sixteenth-century Spain.
