CiNii 図書 - The first Jesuits

"Seven Spanish devils" entered Italy after the year 1530, wrote John Addington Symonds, and one of them was "Jesuistry, with its sham learning, shameless lying, and casuistical economy of sins." Within a century, two of the offending party were canonized. Reviled as devils, revered as saints; from the first, the Jesuits have evoked extreme reactions, but little in the way of thorough scholarship and measured treatment. Here, however, John O'Malley attempts a comprehensive account of the Society of Jesus in its founding years. "The First Jesuits" aims to alter our notions of culture and religion in the Renaissance. Generally viewed as a militant order, completely obedient to the pope and given to the task of combating Protestantism, the Jesuits emerge from these pages as primarily a company of pastors. These men were committed first and foremost to saving and consoling souls, and only incidentally to serving the Counter Reformation. Following the Society from 1540 to 1565, the author shows how this sense of mission evolved. He looks at the Jesuits' teaching, their preaching and their casuistry; also their work with orphans and prostitutes, their attitudes toward Jews and "New Christians", their involvement with inquisitions and book banning, and their relationship to the Reformation and the Council of Trent. All are examined in O'Malley's story, as he details the Society's manifold activities in Europe, Brazil, and India. By taking full account of current scholarship in many areas, he is able to set the Jesuits within the context of the 16th century, and through them, to give us a new perspective on the phenomenon known as the Catholic Reformation. Aiming for an understanding of the Society of Jesus, this book, in its depth, scope, and interdisciplinary approach, embraces the history of religion, education, culture, and social institutions.
