Description
The relationship between religion and culture is the key concern of this selection of John O'Malley's articles, as it was in his earlier one, "Rome and the Renaissance: Studies in Culture and Religion". The present articles address the questions of religious controversy, Church reform, and the character of Renaissance humanism, continuing the research published previously, but developing it in two specific directions. The first is that of Renaissance preaching and rhetoric in terms both of their evolution over the period, and of the particular contributions made by such figures as Luther or Erasmus. The second topic is the early history of the Jesuits, with studies on their attitudes towards humanist culture as well as on the ideas of Ignatius Loyola himself.
