New York University Press The American Jesuits A History
Book SynopsisJesuits have played an important part in Americanizing the Catholic Church and in preparing Catholic immigrants for inclusion into American society. This book recounts the history of Jesuits in the United States.Trade Review"An engaging read, and an elegant synthesis of four centuries of Jesuit heroics, controversies, flops, and hard work in the United States. Should be assigned reading for students of American Catholicism." -- Mark S. Massa, S.J.,The Karl Rahner Professor of Theology and Co-Director, The Francis and Ann Curran Center for American Catholic Studies, Fordham University"Anyone who has encountered the Jesuits—in a college, a high school, a parish, or one of their many social ministries—will appreciate this well-written and comprehensive survey of the Jesuit experience in America." -- James M. O’Toole,Boston College"Schroths lively, detailed, scrupulously honest narrative does not dispel the Jesuit mystique, but instead provides concrete examples from throughout the centuries that explain the society’s origins and survival. . . . This is institutional history at its best. . . . Essential." * Choice *"An enthralling celebration of the Jesuits presence in American Catholic life, masterfully testifying to the society’s achievements. It should also serve as a much-needed blueprint for similar histories of other influential orders in American Catholic life. Fr. Schroth has set the standard." * National Catholic Reporter *"Blending history and analysis, Schroth chronicles the societys weaknesses and failures, too, including its foot-dragging on racial issues. . . . Schroth also discusses the communitys decline in numbers, but ends on a hopeful note. . . . This is an absorbing read for those with an interest in the Jesuits." * Publishers Weekly *Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsPrefaceI In the BeginningPrologue1 The World Scene 2 The Maryland Tradition 3 The Pioneers II Suppression and Return4 Death and Resurrection 5 The New America 6 A Nation and Faith Divided 7 Schoolmasters and Preachers 8 The Turning Point III Engaging the World9 The Social Question 10 At War 11 The Cold War 12 The Golden Age IV The Modern Society Emerges13 Freedom from Fear 14 The Arrupe Era15 Into the 21st CenturyNotes and Sources Bibliography Index About the Author
