Written in response to popular demand, The Exercise of the Christian Life (1557) offers the reader numerous prayers, meditations, and general advice to live a more devout life. Its author, Gaspar Loarte (c.1498-1578), was a Spanish Jesuit who was serving as rector of the Jesuit college in Genoa, Italy, while composing this treatise, which grew out of his own sermons and ministries there. As one of the first examples of Jesuit devotional literature, the Exercise represents a window into popular piety of the period, marked by a focus on Christ's passion and death and including detailed recommendations for combating the devil and his temptations in this earthly life. The Exercise of the Christian Life was a best seller from the very beginning, being reprinted dozens of times in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and translated into French, Spanish, German, and English. The present volume represents the first annotated modern translation of the text into English.

Ethik wird hier nicht abstrakt, sondern als gelebtes Zeugnis einer Reihe in unserer Zeit führender Fachwissenschaftler dargestellt: u.a. Ingeborg Gabriel, Marianne Heimbach-Steins, Konrad Hilpert, Antonio Autiero, Adrian Holderegger, Johannes Reiter, Eberhard Schockenhoff u.v.a. Typisch für die Generation der theologischen Ethiker, die in diesem Buch schreiben, ist das Studium in der Nachkonzilszeit, die Öffnung theologischer Berufstätigkeit, das Erleben von Umweltkrise, Mauerfall und europäischer Einigung. Doch auch der universitäre Kontext und die inhaltlichen Schwerpunkte der theologischen Ethik haben sich verändert. Was das für die Entwicklung des ethischen Denkens in Kirche, Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft bedeutet, wird hier im Spiegel exemplarischer Biografien für Theologie- und Philosophiestudenten, aber auch für etablierte Fachleute und sonstige Interessierte eingehend geschildert und analysiert.

Representations of Catholic women appear with surprising frequency in the literature of post-Reformation England. Playwrights and poets from William Shakespeare to Andrew Marvell invoke the figure of the nun to powerful and often perplexing effect, and works that never directly address female Catholicism, such as Christopher Marlowe's Hero and Leander, share a discourse with contemporary debates regarding the status of recusant women. Catholic Englishwomen, whether living in convents on the European continent or as recusants in their own country, contributed to these debates, but even as their writings addressed the central religious and political issues of their time, their contributions were effaced and now are largely forgotten. Exploring the writings of Catholic women in conversation with those of Shakespeare, Marvell, Marlowe, Donne, and other canonical authors, Beyond the Cloister shows that nuns and recusants were centrally important to the development of English literature.The defining narratives of early modern England cast nuns as the relics of an unenlightened past and equated Catholic femininity with the dangerous charms of the Whore of Babylon. With careful attention to literary figurations of Catholic femininity and to the vibrant manuscript culture in the English convents, Jenna Lay reveals a far more complex reality. Through their use of tropes, figures, generic patterns, and literary allusions, Catholic women produced politically incendiary and rhetorically powerful lyrics, prayers, polemics, and hagiographies. Drawing on the insights of religious studies, historical formalism, and feminist criticism, Beyond the Cloister offers a reassessment of crucial decades in the development of English literary history.
