As Pope Francis continues to make his mark on the church, there is increased interest in his Jesuit background-what is the Society of Jesus, how is it different from other religious orders, and how has it shaped the world? In The Jesuits, acclaimed historian John W. O'Malley, SJ, provides essential historical background from the founder Ignatius of Loyola through the present.

It tells how a subsequent pope restored them to life and how they have fared to this day in virtually every country in the world.

Concise and compelling, The Jesuits is an accessible introduction for anyone interested in world or church history.
