520 8  "Since its founding by Ignatius of Loyola in 1540, the 
       Society of Jesus--more commonly known as the Jesuits--has 
       played a critical role in the events of modern history. 
       From the Counter-Reformation to the ascent of Francis I as
       the first Jesuit pope, The Jesuits presents an intimate 
       look at one of the most important religious orders not 
       only in the Catholic Church, but also the world. Markus 
       Friedrich describes an organization that has deftly walked
       a tightrope between sacred and secular involvement and 
       experienced difficulties during changing times, all while 
       shaping cultural developments from pastoral care and 
       spirituality to art, education, and science. Examining the
       Jesuits in the context of social, cultural, and world 
       history, Friedrich sheds light on how the order shaped the
       culture of the Counter-Reformation and participated in the
       establishment of European empires, including missionary 
       activity throughout Asia and in many parts of Africa in 
       the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He also explores 
       the place of Jesuits in the New World and addresses the 
       issue of Jesuit slaveholders. The Jesuits often tangled 
       with the Roman Curia and the pope, resulting in their 
       suppression in 1773, but the order returned in 1814 to 
       rise again to a powerful position of influence. Friedrich 
       demonstrates that the Jesuit fathers were not a monolithic
       group and he considers the distinctive spiritual legacy 
       inherited by Pope Francis With its global scope and 
       meticulous attention to archival sources and previous 
       scholarship, The Jesuits illustrates the heterogeneous, 
       varied, and contradictory perspectives of this famed 
       religious organization."--|cBack cover.
