February 2026: New Publication – Jesuit Rhetoric across Space and Time

A product of Renaissance educational thought, Jesuit rhetoric has trained generations of churchmen and lay citizens right up to the present day. This book aims to show the wealth of current international research on Jesuit rhetoric, in its pedagogical dimension (from sixteenth-century manuals to today’s university writing courses), its practical implementation (in speeches, music or theology). Its chapters span both religious contexts—engagements with Protestants, Jews, Orthodox Christians, and Dominicans—and geographical ones, including encounters between Europe and regions such as Sri Lanka, China, and Japan.

It includes papers by: Sophie Conte, Cinthia Gannet, Lucía Díaz Marroquín, María Violeta Pérez Custodio, María Asunción Sánchez Manzano, Belmiro Fernandes Pereira, Manfred Kraus, Elizabethada A. Wright, Renea Frey, Malachai Komanoff Bandy, Josie Portz, Anne Régent-Susini, Ana Lúcia de Oliveira, Maria Cecília de Miranda Nogueira Coelho, Steven Mailloux, Ana Isabel Correia Martins, Hanne Roer, Deborah H. Holdstein, Bartosz B. Awianowicz, Roberto S. Leon, and Aiko Okamoto-MacPhail.
