| Summary: | This article makes two points regarding the importance of San Juan de Avila (1499-1569) to the development of Catholic Counter-Reformation educational theory and practice. First, Avila translated certain elements of Christian humanist thought into a practical and flexible educational strategy that characterized his own preaching and teaching activities. Second, his approach to educational and missionary work spread and became institutionalized within long-lasting structures of the Tridentine Catholic Church. This diffusion of Avila's educational strategies is traced through two principal channels: the growth of the Jesuit educational program and the reform decrees of the Council of Trent. This article concludes that some of the Catholic Reformation's most successful strategies of social control were rooted in Avila's practical educational work and theoretical writings. |
