The General Who Rebuilt The Jesuits

By Robert G. North

Book Overview

The General Who Rebuilt The Jesuits by Robert G. North is a book that tells the story of the Jesuit order and its rebirth after a period of decline. The book focuses on the life and work of Pedro Arrupe, a Spanish Jesuit who became the order's Superior General in 1965. Arrupe is credited with revitalizing the Jesuits and bringing them into the modern era. The book covers his early life, his time as a missionary in Japan, and his leadership of the Jesuits during a time of great change in the Catholic Church. North also explores the controversies that surrounded Arrupe's leadership, including his controversial stance on social justice and his clashes with conservative members of the order. The book provides a detailed and engaging account of Arrupe's life and work, and offers insights into the history and culture of the Jesuits. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church and the Jesuit order.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
