The book provides an account of many Jesuits, from the time of St.
Ignatius to the 1990's, who have been incarcerated around the world
for their faith. It is divided into chapters that deal with
specific themes related to their imprisonment. The principal themes
are: prayer as a key element in survival, arrest and trial
procedures, the experience of suffering, Mass, the daily order of
prison life, forced labor, ministry to other prisoners, guards,
prisoners who became Jesuits while imprisoned, community in prison,
and voluntary incarceration.This is the first book to examine the
experience of incarcerated Jesuits around the world and down
through the centuries from the standpoint of these various themes.
Much of the material is by the Jesuits themselves, in letters,
autobiographical fragments and other sources-including obscure
publications long out of print. The result is a gathering together
of these pieces and fragments into a coordinated whole, with
commentary on their significance in the context of the political
and cultural situations of their time-situations that were
generally the immediate cause of the Jesuits imprisonment, whether
in Elizabethan England or in Communist China and Russia. A chart of
imprisoned Jesuits by country of incarceration at the beginning,
and a glossary of names at the back (as well as an index), will
help the reader to keep track of the names of the many Jesuits who
figure in the book.
