The French mystic Jean-Joseph Surin (1600-65) was the chief exorcist during the infamous demonic possession in Loudun in 1634-37. During the exorcism, a demon entered Surin's own soul, and the exorcist became demoniac. He spent the following eighteen years of his life mute and paralyzed. All the while his troubled mind conversed with God, and he composed hymns and poems that tried to comprehend his agony. Surin left detailed descriptions of the dramatic events that shaped his life and fascinated his fellow Jesuits. But Surin was also an author of spiritual texts, a spiritual director of souls, a poet, and a prolific correspondent. This volume is the first to offer English readers a comprehensive selection of Surin's mystical writings.

In Natural and Political Conceptions of Community , Christoph Haar examines the role of the household community in Jesuit political thought. Introducing a fresh perspective on the early modern Jesuit academic discourse, the book explores how leading Jesuit thinkers drew on their theologically inspired conceptions of the family community to determine the usefulness as well as the limitations of the political realm. Natural and Political Conceptions of Community is about the place of the household in Scholastic theoretical works. The book demonstrates that Jesuits considered the human being as a household being when they determined the origin and purpose of the political community, producing a notion of politics that integrated their account of human nature with the sphere of law, rights, and virtues.

In early modern China, Jesuit missionaries associated with the male elite of Confucian literati in order to proselytize more freely, but they had limited contact with women, whose ritual spaces were less accessible. Historians of Catholic evangelism have similarly directed their attention to the devotional practices of men, neglecting the interior spaces in Chinese households where women worshipped and undertook the transmission of Catholicism to family members and friends. Nadine Amsler’s investigation brings the domestic and devotional practices of women into sharp focus, uncovering a rich body of evidence that demonstrates how Chinese households functioned as sites of evangelization, religious conflict, and indigenization of Christianity.The resulting exploration of gendered realms in seventeenth-century China reveals networks of religious sociability and ritual communities among women as well as women’s remarkable acts of private piety. Amsler’s exhaustive archival research and attention to material culture reveals new insights about women’s agency and domestic activities, illuminating areas of Chinese and Catholic history that have remained obscure, if not entirely invisible, for far too long.

The Rites Controversies in the Early Modern World is a collection of fourteen articles focusing on debates concerning the nature of “rites” raging in intellectual circles of Europe, Asia and America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The controversy started in Jesuit Asian missions where the method of accommodation, based on translation of Christianity into Asian cultural idioms, created a distinction between civic and religious customs. Civic customs were defined as those that could be included into Christianity and permitted to the new converts. However, there was no universal consensus among the various actors in these controversies as to how to establish criteria for distinguishing civility from religion. The controversy had not been resolved, but opened the way to radical religious scepticism.

Una completa biografía del jesuita español, Alonso de Barzana (Belinchón, España, 1530 - Cuzco, Perú, 1597). Barzana fue uno de los primeros y más grandes evangelizadores jesuitas en América Latina -llegó a dominar hasta 11 lenguas indígenas-. Por su extraordinaria labor misionera en el interior de Bolivia, Paraguay y Argentina -que varias décadas más tarde daría origen a las famosas reducciones jesuíticas-, se le conoce como «el san Francisco Javier de las Indias Occidentales». En Argentina goza de una especial veneración por ser uno de sus evangelizadores pioneros, que se destacó por su cercanía, promoción y defensa de los pueblos indígenas. Por ello, el papa Francisco impulsó recientemente su proceso de beatificación.

Il gesuita francese Isaac-Joseph Berruyer ci ha lasciato un’imponente produzione di parafrasi commentate della Sacra Scrittura che, se hanno ottenuto all’epoca un grande successo, sono state anche attaccate e condannate da Roma. L’accusa rivolta al suo modo di esporre può riassumersi in un aggettivo: burlesque. Nell'ottica dei censori è il mescolarsi di generi a creare disagio. Berruyer parla della Bibbia col registro lieve del romanzo: ciò non è consono allo stile solenne, grave, della Scrittura. Un’accusa che emerge, tra quelle che gli vengono mosse, si potrebbe chiamare rigiudaicizzazione della Scrittura. Berruyer rilegge la vita di Gesù e della Chiesa primitiva alla luce di quello che oggi chiameremmo giudeo-cristianesimo: Gesù non avrebbe inteso rivolgersi ai pagani e l’attività degli apostoli si sarebbe concentrata in Terra Santa. Ricostruendo il dibattito suscitato dalle opere di questo esegeta «paradossale», senza pretendere di esaurirne la figura e la ricezione, il libro affronta la storia della sua censura e le modalità di costruzione della stessa.

An investigation into the role of Reform Catholicism in the international suppression of the Jesuits in 1773. The Jesuits devoted themselves to preaching the word of God, administering the sacraments, and spreading the faith by missions in both Europe and newly discovered lands abroad. But, in 1773, under intense pressure from the monarchs of Europe, the papacy suppressed the Society of Jesus, an act that reverberated from Europe to the Americas and Southeast Asia. In this scholarly history, Dale Van Kley argues that Reform Catholicism, not a secular Enlightenment, provided the justification for Catholic kings to suppress a society instituted by the papacy. Spanning the years from the mid-sixteenth century to the onset of the French Revolution, and the Jesuit presence from China to Brazil, this is the only single volume in English to make coherent sense of the series of expulsions that add up to what was arguably the most important religious event in Europe of the time, resulting in the secularization of tens of thousands of Jesuits
