Description
Summary:This special issue of the Journal of Jesuit Studies explores the “new” Jesuit mission to China, established in the 1840s. This, following the Society’s suppression in Europe and the broader banishment of Christianity in China. The introduction provides a snapshot of the critical themes threading through the essays. These include the dynamic interplay between the “old” and “new” Jesuit missions to China, featuring intriguing discussions on cultural “accommodation” and indigenization. The unique role of Shanghai as a vital Jesuit hub in East Asia is examined, underscoring its strategic importance. Furthermore, the issue delves into the transference and circulation of ideologies, texts, and visual media within East Asia, highlighting the region’s interconnectedness. The collection presents a comprehensive view of the Jesuits’ complex, transformative journey in the East.
