Description

John W. O'Malley gives us the most comprehensive account ever written of the Society of Jesus in its founding years, one that heightens and transforms our understanding of the Jesuits in history and today.

Following the Society from 1540 through 1565, O'Malley shows how this sense of mission evolved.

He looks at everything-the Jesuits' teaching, their preaching, their casuistry, their work with orphans and prostitutes, their attitudes toward Jews and "New Christians," and their relationship to the Reformation.

All are taken in by the sweep of O'Malley's story as he details the Society's manifold activities in Europe, Brazil, and India.
