Unlike the traditional terms Counter-Reformation or Catholic
Reform, this book does not see Catholicism from 1450 to 1700
primarily in relationship to the Protestant Reformation but as both
shaped by the revolutionary changes of the early modern period and
actively refashioning itself in response to these changes: the
emergence of the early modern state; economic growth and social
dislocation; the expansion of Europe across the seas; the
Renaissance; and, to be sure, the Protestant Reformation. Bireley
devotes particular attention to new methods of evangelization in
the Old World and the New, education at the elementary, secondary
and university levels, the new active religious orders of women and
men, and the effort to create a spirituality for the Christian
living in the world. A final chapter looks at the issues raised by
Machiavelli, Galileo and Pascal. Robert Bireley is a leading Jesuit
historian and uniquely well placed to reassess this centrally
important subject for understanding the dynamics of early modern
Europe. This book will be of great value to all those studying the
political, social, religious and cultural history of the period.
