Jesuits And Globalization

Georgetown University Press
The Society of Jesus is the most successful and enduring global missionary enterprise in history. Founded by Ignatius Loyola in 1540, the Jesuit order has preached the Gospel, managed a vast educational network, and shaped the Catholic Church, society, and politics in all corners of the earth. In The Jesuits and Globalization: Historical Legacies and Contemporary Challenges, Thomas Banchoff and Jose Casanova assemble a multidisciplinary group of leading experts to discuss the historical influence of the Jesuits on globalization and their possible contributions to its future.”
