Reviews

“Both scholarly and accessible, this attractive book features illustrations to complement the text, including numerous architectural drawings. The source material and reference works offer a direct and vivid link to the order’s history. While exploring many regional variations, the book consistently takes account of the broader picture befitting the Society and regularly puts forwards questions for further study.”
Benjamin Hazard, University College Dublin. In: Irish Theological Quarterly, Vol. 81, No. 4 (2016), pp. 434-436.

“The days when such studies as these were exclusively in the hands of Jesuits are fortunately long past, and several very distinguished contributions to this volume come from lay scholars, men and women, prepared to investigate archives and ask questions that may not have occurred to the Jesuits involved. The overall result is a volume with a very high standard of scholarship and remarkably few misprints. […] at present the book is an indispensable pointer in the right direction.”
Joseph A. Munitiz, Campion Hall, Oxford. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 67, No. 1 (2016), pp. 212-213.

“The editors are to be commended for ambitiously attempting nothing less than a renewed historiography.”
Stephen Schloesser, Loyola University, Chicago. In: The Journal of Religious History, Literature and Culture, Vol. 2, No. 1 (2016), pp. 118-120.

A “uniformly impressive book.”
Oliver P. Rafferty, SJ, Boston College. In: Theological Studies, Vol. 77, No. 4 (2016), pp. 1004-1005.

“the volume under review here advances our knowledge of Jesuit Survival and Restoration in myriad ways. […] This rich collection provides much needed global coverage of the sup¬pressed and restored Society.”
Robert E.Scully, SJ, Le Moyne College. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 47, No. 3 (Fall 2016), pp. 714-717.
