Download or read book The Jesuits and Religious Intercultural Management in Early Modern Times written by Frank Jacob and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the role of human capital and a global mindset for a successful intercultural management of the Society of Jesus in the geographical contexts of Japan and Peru during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Historical data for more than 200 Jesuits has been evaluated and analyzed according to modern management theory. The work is, therefore, an interdisciplinary study related to the history of religious orders, European expansion, and trans- or intercultural management and shows how the Jesuit missionaries in Japan and Peru were able to achieve and stimulate a successful expansion of their order’s influence in these regions of the world. While analyzing a historical topic, the book is also of interest to modern day managers and those who are interested in creating a successful strategy for intercultural management.
Book Synopsis Translating Catechisms, Translating Cultures by :
Download or read book Translating Catechisms, Translating Cultures written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translating Catechisms, Translating Cultures explores the dimensions of early modern transcultural Christianities; the leeway of religious negotiation in and outside of Europe by comparing catechisms and their translation in the context of several Jesuit missionary strategies. The volume challenges the often assumed paramount Europeanness of Western Christianity. In the early modern period the idea of Tridentine Catholicism was translated into many different regions where it was appropriated and adopted to local conditions. Missionary work always entails translation, linguistic as well as cultural, which results in a modification of the content. Catechisms were central instruments to communicate Christian belief and, therefore, they are central media for all kinds of translation processes. The comparative approach (including China, India, Japan, Ethiopia, Northern America and England) enables the evaluation of different factors like power relations, social differentiation, cultural patterns, gender roles etc. Contributors are: Takao Abé, Anand Amaladass, Leonhard Cohen, Renate Dürr, Antje Flüchter, Ana Hosne, Giulia Nardini, John Ødemark, John Steckley, Alexandra Walsham, Rouven Wirbser.
Book Synopsis Salvation and Globalization in the Early Jesuit Missions by : Luke Clossey
Download or read book Salvation and Globalization in the Early Jesuit Missions written by Luke Clossey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-05 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first truly global study of the Society of Jesus's early missions. Up to now historians have treated the early-modern Catholic missionary project as a disjointed collection of regional missions rather than as a single world-encompassing example of religious globalization. Luke Clossey shows how the vast distances separating missions led to logistical problems of transportation and communication incompatible with traditional views of the Society as a tightly centralized military machine. In fact, connections unmediated by Rome sprung up between the missions throughout the seventeenth century. He follows trails of personnel, money, relics and information between missions in seventeenth-century China, Germany and Mexico, and explores how Jesuits understood space and time and visualized universal mission and salvation. This pioneering study demonstrates that a global perspective is essential to understanding the Jesuits and will be required reading for historians of Catholicism and the early-modern world.
Book Synopsis The Jesuits and Globalization by : Thomas Banchoff
Download or read book The Jesuits and Globalization written by Thomas Banchoff and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, 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. Rather than offering a global history of the Jesuits or a linear narrative of globalization, Thomas Banchoff and José Casanova have assembled a multidisciplinary group of leading experts to explore what we can learn from the historical and contemporary experience of the Society of Jesus—what do the Jesuits tell us about globalization and what can globalization tell us about the Jesuits? Contributors include comparative theologian Francis X. Clooney, SJ, historian John W. O'Malley, SJ, Brazilian theologian Maria Clara Lucchetti Bingemer, and ethicist David Hollenbach, SJ. They focus on three critical themes—global mission, education, and justice—to examine the historical legacies and contemporary challenges. Their insights contribute to a more critical and reflexive understanding of both the Jesuits’ history and of our contemporary human global condition.
Book Synopsis Being a Jesuit in Renaissance Italy by : Camilla Russell
Download or read book Being a Jesuit in Renaissance Italy written by Camilla Russell and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new history illuminates the Society of Jesus in its first century from the perspective of those who knew it best: the early Jesuits themselves. The Society of Jesus was established in 1540. In the century that followed, thousands sought to become Jesuits and pursue vocations in religious service, teaching, and missions. Drawing on scores of unpublished biographical documents housed at the Roman Jesuit Archive, Camilla Russell illuminates the lives of those who joined the Society, building together a religious and cultural presence that remains influential the world over. Tracing Jesuit life from the Italian provinces to distant missions, Russell sheds new light on the impact and inner workings of the Society. The documentary record reveals a textual network among individual members, inspired by Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises. The early Jesuits took stock of both quotidian and spiritual experiences in their own records, which reflect a community where the worldly and divine overlapped. Echoing the Society’s foundational writings, members believed that each Jesuit’s personal strengths and inclinations offered a unique contribution to the whole—an attitude that helps explain the Society’s widespread appeal from its first days. Focusing on the Jesuits’ own words, Being a Jesuit in Renaissance Italy offers a new lens on the history of spirituality, identity, and global exchange in the Renaissance. What emerges is a kind of genetic code—a thread connecting the key Jesuit works to the first generations of Jesuits and the Society of Jesus as it exists today.
Book Synopsis Early Modern Toleration by : Benjamin J. Kaplan
Download or read book Early Modern Toleration written by Benjamin J. Kaplan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the practice of toleration and the experience of religious diversity in the early modern world. Recent scholarship has shown the myriad ways in which religious differences were accommodated in the early modern era (1500–1800). This book propels this revisionist wave further by linking the accommodation of religious diversity in early modern communities to the experience of this diversity by individuals. It does so by studying the forms and patterns of interaction between members of different religious groups, including Christian denominations, Muslims, and Jews, in territories ranging from Europe to the Americas and South-East Asia. This book is structured around five key concepts: the senses, identities, boundaries, interaction, and space. For each concept, the book provides chapters based on new, original research plus an introduction that situates the chapters in their historiographic context. Early Modern Toleration: New Approaches is aimed primarily at undergraduate and postgraduate students, to whom it offers an accessible introduction to the study of religious toleration in the early modern era. Additionally, scholars will find cutting-edge contributions to the field in the book’s chapters.
Book Synopsis Missionary Men in the Early Modern World by : Ulrike Strasser
Download or read book Missionary Men in the Early Modern World written by Ulrike Strasser and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did gender shape the expanding Jesuit enterprise in the early modern world? What did it take to become a missionary man? And how did missionary masculinity align itself with the European colonial project? This book highlights the central importance of male affective ties and masculine mimesis in the formation of the Jesuit missions, as well as the significance of patriarchal dynamics. Focussing on previously neglected German figures, Strasser shows how stories of exemplary male behavior circulated across national boundaries, directing the hearts and feet of men throughout Europe towards Jesuit missions in faraway lands. The sixteenth-century Iberian exemplars of Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier, disseminated in print and visual media, inspired late seventeenth-century Jesuits from German-speaking lands to bring Catholicism and European gender norms to the Spanish-controlled Pacific. As Strasser demonstrates, the age of global missions hinged on the reproduction of missionary manhood in print and real life.
Book Synopsis Exploring Jesuit Distinctiveness by :
Download or read book Exploring Jesuit Distinctiveness written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume theme is the distinctiveness of Jesuits and their ministries that was discussed at the first International Symposium on Jesuit Studies held at Boston College’s Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies in June 2015. It explores the quidditas Jesuitica, or the specifically Jesuit way(s) of proceeding in which Jesuits and their colleagues operated from historical, geographical, social, and cultural perspectives. The collection poses a question whether there was an essential core of distinctive elements that characterized the way in which Jesuits lived their religious vocation and conducted their various works and how these ways of proceeding were lived out in the various epochs and cultures in which Jesuits worked over four and a half centuries; what changed and adapted itself to different times and situations, and what remained constant, transcending time and place, infusing the apostolic works and lives of Jesuits with the charism at the source of the Society of Jesus’s foundation and development. Thanks to generous support of the Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies at Boston College, this volume is available in Open Access.
Book Synopsis Jesuits and Race by : Nathaniel Millett
Download or read book Jesuits and Race written by Nathaniel Millett and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesuits and Race examines the role that the Society of Jesus played in shaping Western understandings about race and explores the impact the Order had on the lives and societies of non-European peoples throughout history. Jesuits provide an unusual, if not unique, lens through which to view the topic of race given the global nature of the Society of Jesus and the priests’ interest in humanity, salvation, conversion, science, and nature. Jesuits’ global presence in missions, imperial expansion, and education lends insight into the differences in patterns of estrangement and assimilation, as well as enfranchisement and coercion, with people from Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The essays in this collection bring together case studies from around the world as a first step toward a comparative analysis of Jesuit engagement with racialized difference. The authors hone in on labor practices, social structures, and religious agendas at salient moments during the long span of Jesuit history in this fascinating volume.

Book Synopsis A Paradise Inhabited by Devils by : Jennifer D. Selwyn
Download or read book A Paradise Inhabited by Devils written by Jennifer D. Selwyn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years much scholarly attention has been focused on the encounter of cultures during the early modern period, and the global implications that such encounters held. As a result of this work, scholars have now begun to re-evaluate many aspects of early culture contact, not least with respect to Christian missionary activities. Prominent amongst the missionaries were members of the Society of Jesus. Emerging as a dynamic new religious order in the wake of the Reformation, the Jesuits were deeply committed to promoting religious and cultural reforms both within Europe and in non-Christian lands. Yet whilst scholars have revealed much about the Jesuits' innovative educational endeavours, and their numerous missions to the Americas, Asia and the Sub-Continent, less attention has been paid to the nature of the Jesuits' global civilizing mission as a key feature of their institutional character. Nor has sufficient work been done to fully explain the relationship between the Jesuits' efforts to evangelize and civilize those areas within the Catholic fold and those without. Taking as its focus the city of Naples, this study illuminates how the Jesuits' work in a Catholic European setting reflected their broader global civilizing mission. Despite its Catholic heritage, Naples was popularly perceived as a place of spiritual and social disorder, thus providing an irresistible challenge to religious reformers, such as the Jesuits, who sought to 'civilize' the city. Drawing in considerable numbers of the order, Naples proved to be a training ground for the Jesuits that shaped the order's missionary praxis and influenced the thinking of many who would later travel further afield. By gaining a fuller understanding of this process, it is possible to better understand what drove the Jesuits to craft and perpetuate a cultural map that continues to resonate down to our own times. This book is published in conjunction with the Jesuit Historical Institute series 'Bibliotheca Instituti Historici Societatis Iesu'.
Book Synopsis Journey to the East by : Liam Matthew Brockey
Download or read book Journey to the East written by Liam Matthew Brockey and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-15 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was one of the great encounters of world history: highly educated European priests confronting Chinese culture for the first time in the modern era. This “journey to the East” is explored by Liam Brockey as he retraces the path of the Jesuit missionaries who sailed from Portugal to China, believing that, with little more than firm conviction and divine assistance, they could convert the Chinese to Christianity. Moving beyond the image of Jesuits as cultural emissaries, his book shows how these priests, in the first concerted European effort to engage with Chinese language and thought, translated Roman Catholicism into the Chinese cultural frame and eventually claimed two hundred thousand converts. The first narrative history of the Jesuits’ mission from 1579 until the proscription of Christianity in China in 1724, this study is also the first to use extensive documentation of the enterprise found in Lisbon and Rome. The peril of travel in the premodern world, the danger of entering a foreign land alone and unarmed, and the challenge of understanding a radically different culture result in episodes of high drama set against such backdrops as the imperial court of Peking, the villages of Shanxi Province, and the bustling cities of the Yangzi Delta region. Further scenes show how the Jesuits claimed conversions and molded their Christian communities into outposts of Baroque Catholicism in the vastness of China. In the retelling, this story reaches across continents and centuries to reveal the deep political, cultural, scientific, linguistic, and religious complexities of a true early engagement between East and West.
Book Synopsis Early Modern Jesuits between Obedience and Conscience during the Generalate of Claudio Acquaviva (1581-1615) by : Professor Silvia Mostaccio
Download or read book Early Modern Jesuits between Obedience and Conscience during the Generalate of Claudio Acquaviva (1581-1615) written by Professor Silvia Mostaccio and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Society of Jesus was founded on a principal of strict obedience to papal authority, yet the turbulent political circumstances in which they operated inevitably brought them into conflict with the Catholic hierarchy. In order to better understand and contextualise the concept of obedience from a theological and practical perspective, this book examines the Jesuits of south-western Europe during the thirty-year generalate of Claudio Acquaviva (1581-1615), a challenging time for the Jesuits, during which their very system of government was called into doubt.

Book Synopsis Religious Hybridization and the Legacy of Jesuit Accommodationism in the Early Modern East Asia by : Joo Sheen
Download or read book Religious Hybridization and the Legacy of Jesuit Accommodationism in the Early Modern East Asia written by Joo Sheen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early modern period is significant in that the world began to experience globalization in a more practical sense; accordingly, cultures in different civilizations became hybridized to a greater extent. In East Asia, intellectual encounters conveyed by the Society of Jesus (members of which are referred to as Jesuits) constituted a crucial part of this significant history. This dissertation aims at tracing the hybridization process of religious ideas as a consequence of Jesuit encounters in two regions of East Asia: China and Korea. Intellectual encounters with ideas conveyed by Jesuit missionaries have been recognized as having had a large influence on the introduction of the Western ideas. In addition, because the Jesuit mission strategy of accommodating Confucian thought enabled favorable recognition in Ming elite society and the court, Christian ideas were able to be successfully adapted into the intellectual sphere of China. However, researchers have not paid enough attention to the significance of the agency enjoyed by the Christian converts, who developed further hybridization of Catholic ideas into the Chinese intellectual milieu. Therefore, this dissertation particularly aims to provide a comparative analysis of the early Catholic converts apologetics texts. The primary focus of this dissertation project is examining the intellectual and religious discourses of Chinese Catholics during the seventeenth century and early eighteenth century. While largely influenced by Jesuit missionaries, the local Catholic discourse did not merely repeat Jesuit apologetics. The apologetics by converts, using religious/philosophical concepts and terms and, particularly, continuing the development of the thesis of buru yifo, meaning a complement of Confucianism and the replacement of Buddhism, by Xu Guangqi (1562-1633), Han Lin (1596-1649) and Zhang Geng (1570-?), Zhu Zongyuan (1616-1660), and Zhang Xingyao (1633-1715+), were some of the best examples of actively practicing hybridization even beyond the missionaries intent. Chinese Catholics did not lose their agency for further hybridization until the rise of the Rites Controversy in the eighteenth century resulted in a strict ban on Jesuit accommodationism. The agency of Catholic converts becomes even more apparent when we compare the earlier case of China with Chosn Korea, which has often been neglected in dealing with the Jesuit influence in early modern East Asia. The Catholic discourse by early Korean converts is another main focus of this dissertation. The elite society of late Chosn was closely linked with the Jesuit presence from the beginning of the seventeenth century. Despite the regional and chronological gap, we can observe that the earliest Korean converts in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, such as Chng Yak-jong (1760-1801), Hwang Sa-yng (1775-1801), and Chng Ha-sang (1795-1839), continued to develop hybridized ideas of Catholicism based on their interpretation of Jesuit publications. Apologetics and judicial testimonies attributed to them reveal that they also willingly took advantage of Jesuit accommodationism and enjoyed agency in their practice Catholicism. The comparative study of intellectual discourse about Catholicism in China and Korea orients to a deeper understanding of connections and patterns in early modern East Asia within the context of the world history of Christianity. The consistent influence of Jesuit discourses is confirmed, particularly the paramount development of the Jesuit accommodation thesis, buru yifo, in both cases. Jesuit accommodation in China played a pivotal role in the initiation and development of Chinese Christian apologetics. In Korea, Jesuit books were crucial in allowing Christian ideas to be accepted, and the early Korean Catholics' apologetics hybridized the discourses according to their spiritual context. The story of persecution of Korean Catholics also shows that limiting accommodationism commonly resulted in a loss of opportunity to maintain religious tolerance in East Asia. Above all, we can see that, as long as Jesuit accommodationism survived, early modern Catholics in the two different regions of East Asia reproducedrather than replicatedChristian apologetics of their own that were beyond the control of Western missionaries.
