The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration
of religions as social systems- both in Western and non-Western
societies; in particular, it examines religions in their
differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural
systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is
given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a
clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical
data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the
religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or
media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their
construction of identity, and their relation to society and the
wider public are key issues of this series.
Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) obtained papal approval in 1540 for
a new international religious order called the Society of Jesus.
Until the mid-1700s the 'Jesuits' were active in many parts of
Europe and far beyond. Gaining both friends and enemies in response
to their work as teachers, scholars, writers, preachers,
missionaries and spiritual directors, the Jesuits were formally
suppressed by Pope Clement XIV in 1773 and restored by Pope Pius
VII in 1814. The Society of Jesus then grew until the 1960s; it has
more recently experienced declining membership in Europe and North
America, but expansion in other parts of the world. This Companion
examines the religious and cultural significance of the Jesuits.
The first four sections treat the period prior to the Suppression,
while section five examines the Suppression and some of the
challenges and opportunities of the restored Society of Jesus up to
the present.
These original essays offer thought-provoking perspectives on the
complex evolution of the papacy in the last 500 years, from the
pope as an Italian Renaissance prince to the pope as a universal
pastor concerned with the well-being and salvation of human beings
everywhere on earth. Structured by detailed studies of some of the
most significant popes in this evolution, this volume explores how
papal policies and actions were received as the popes sought to
respond to the political, cultural, and social circumstances of
their time. Included are essays examining pontificates from that of
Julius II, warrior as well as patron of the arts, to the era of the
French Revolution and Napoleon, to Paul VI's pleas for peace during
the Cold War, and to John Paul II's itinerant, prophetic, and
hierarchical model of a pastoral papacy in the age of television
and the internet.

Plague was one of the enduring facts of everyday life on the
European continent, from earliest antiquity through the first
decades of the eighteenth century. It represents one of the most
important influences on the development of Europe's society and
culture. In order to understand the changing circumstances of the
political, economic, ecclesiastical, artistic, and social history
of that continent, it is important to understand epidemic disease
and society's response to it. To date, the largest portion of
scholarship about plague has focused on its political, economic,
demographic, and medical aspects. This interdisciplinary volume
offers greater coverage of the religious and the psychological
dimensions of plague and of European society's response to it
through many centuries and over a wide geographical terrain,
including Byzantium. This research draws extensively upon a wealth
of primary sources, both printed and painted, and includes ample
bibliographical reference to the most im
