Diego Laínez, S.J.
Del P. Laínez decía San Ignacio que era a quien más debía la Compañía, incluido Francisco Javier. Juntamente con Salmerón, fue enviado a Trento como teólogo pontificio. Cuando Ignacio intentó sacarlo del Concilio y sustituirle por Nadal recibió esta comunicación de Salmerón: «Dos o tres sustitutos de Laínez no harían el trabajo que éste hace en el Concilio ni contribuirían como él al prestigio de la Compañía".A la muerte de Ignacio fue nombrado Vicario General por los profesos residenters en Roma. Mucho le costó obtener la autorización del Papa, ahora Pablo VI, para reunir la Congregación General en la cual fue nombrado segundo General de la Compañía.Polanco, recién nombrado secretario de la Orden, pidió a Laínez que escribiera sus recuerdos del Santo desde que lo Trató en París. Así lo hizo Laínez en Bolonia, ciudad a la que se había trasladado el Concilio, en 1547.Este libro recoge y comenta dicha carta juntamente con el llamado Sumario Hispánico de Polanco, escrito al año siguiente a la vista del relato de Laínez.
The Jesuit Order As a Synagogue of Jews
In "The Jesuit Order as a Synagogue of Jews" the author explains how Christians with Jewish family backgrounds went within less than forty years from having a leading role in the foundation of the Society of Jesus to being prohibited from membership in it. The author works at the intersection to two important historical topics, each of which attracts considerable scholarly attention but that have never received sustained and careful attention together, namely, the early modern histories of the Jesuit order and of Iberian purity of blood concerns. An analysis of the pro- and anti-converso texts in this book (both in terms of what they are claiming and what their limits are) advance our understanding of early modern, institutional Catholicism at the intersection of early modern religious reform and the new racism developing in Spain and spreading outwards.

The Cid and His Spain
This study of El Cid, first published in English in 1934, is by the leading authority on the medieval history and literature of Spain. The Cid occupies a unique position among national heroes. Others such as King Arthur and Roland are but shadowy figures in the historical record, but El Cid is very much better documented. This book also paints a striking picture of eleventh-century Spain, bringing out the importance of the country as a link between Christian and Muslim civilization.
The American Jesuits
Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2008 A broad and compelling look at the impact of the largest Catholic order of men on American culture With infectious energy and a genuine gift for storytelling, Raymond A. Schroth recounts the history of Jesuits in the United States. The American Jesuits isn’t simply a book for Catholics; it’s for anyone who loves a well-told historical tale. For more than 450 years, Jesuit priests have traveled the globe out of a religious commitment to serve others. Their order, the Society of Jesus, is the largest religious order of men in the Catholic Church, with more than 20,000 members around the world and almost 3,000 in the United States. It is one of the...
Envoys of a Human God
In Envoys of A Human God Andreu Martínez offers a comprehensive study of the religious mission led by the Society of Jesus in Christian Ethiopia. The mission to Ethiopia was one of the most challenging undertakings carried out by the Catholic Church in early modern times. The book examines the period of early Portuguese contacts with the Ethiopian monarchy, the mission’s main developments and its aftermath, with the expulsion of the Jesuit missionaries. The study profits from both an intense reading of the historical record and the fruits of recent archaeological research. Long-held historiographical assumptions are challenged and the importance of cultural and socio-political factors in the attraction and ultimate estrangement between European Catholics and Ethiopian Christians is highlighted.
The Council of Trent: Reform and Controversy in Europe and Beyond (1545-1700)
Exactly 450 years after the solemn closure of the Council of Trent on 4 December 1563, scholars from diverse regional, disciplinary and confessional backgrounds convened in Leuven to reflect upon the impact of this Council, not only in Europe but also beyond. Their conclusions are to be found in these three impressive volumes. Bridging different generations of scholarship, the authors reassess in a first volume Tridentine views on the Bible, theology and liturgy, as well as their reception by Protestants, deconstructing many myths surviving in scholarship and society alike. They also deal with the mechanisms 'Rome' developed to hold a grip on the Council's implementation. The second volume analyzes the changes in local ecclesiastical life, initiated by bishops, orders and congregations, and the political strife and confessionalisation accompanying this reform process. The third and final volume examines the afterlife of Trent in arts and music, as well as in the global impact of Trent through missions.
