The Jesuits and the Church in History

 


 

The Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies hosted its seventh annual International Symposium on Jesuit Studies in June 2022 at Boston College. The theme for the event was “Jesuits and the Church in History.” The program featured presentations by nearly 80 other scholars, making it the largest symposium to date.

 

The essays below are revisions of presentations, as invited by the Institute. Each essay was subjected to a double-blind peer review and further revisions by the author. All necessary citation information for each essay appears on its downloadable pdf document. Essays will be published on a rolling basis.
