About this title

Synopsis

From the pen of the Dominican Order's Magister General, this volume presents a meticulous account of the general chapter held in Rome in 1670. A time of transition and renewal, the proceedings therein highlight the global reach of the Dominicans, the diversity within the Order, and the challenges it faced during a period of religious upheaval. Beyond the detailed reports on the state of Dominican provinces worldwide, from China to Peru, this book considers the Order's internal reforms and external pressures. How should the Order continue to define its identity in the face of social and religious changes? How could it cement its unity while reaching new peoples and maintaining ancient traditions? The Magister General's concluding address underscores the importance of the Dominican mission in a complex and often hostile world. His words still resonate today, as the Order continues to negotiate its place in a world that is both increasingly interconnected and divided. This book provides not only a window into the past but also insights into the ongoing relevance of this venerable institution.
