Media Reviews
This superb collection of essays is strongly recommended to anyone interested in the history and distinctive identity of the Society of Jesus evolving out of Renaissance humanism. It also provides a timely caution for anyone interested in globalisation, especially in light of what Pankaj Mishra has recently called the ‘Globalization of Rage’. Nationalist populism evokes the initial quandary of negotiating self-identity stated in this collection’s introduction.
* The Way *Multi-themed yet coherent and articulate.
* Journal of World History *This volume of essays could not be more timely for a political moment. . . . An impressively researched catalogue . . . [that] succeeds best as a compelling defense of this new, radical (if historically rooted) Jesuit leadership in global engagement.
* Catholic Historical Review *An ambitious project which has considerable success in the quality of the articles in contains, and the arguments it sustains.
* Journal of the American Academy of Religion *In this erudite collection, the authors claim that the Jesuits more than anyone contributed to global connectivity and became cultural and political players across the world.
* Independent Catholic News *Author's Bio
