In Jesuit Survival and Restoration leading scholars from around the world discuss the most dramatic event in the Society of Jesus's history. The order was suppressed by papal command in 1773 and for the next forty-one years ex-Jesuits endeavoured to keep the Ignatian spirit alive and worked towards the order's restoration. When this goal was achieved in 1814 the Society entered one of its most dynamic but troubled eras. The contributions in the volume trace this story in a global perspective, looking at developments in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

“Both scholarly and accessible, this attractive book features illustrations to complement the text, including numerous architectural drawings. The source material and reference works offer a direct and vivid link to the order’s history. While exploring many regional variations, the book consistently takes account of the broader picture befitting the Society and regularly puts forwards questions for further study.”
Benjamin Hazard, University College Dublin. In: Irish Theological Quarterly, Vol. 81, No. 4 (2016), pp. 434-436.
“The days when such studies as these were exclusively in the hands of Jesuits are fortunately long past, and several very distinguished contributions to this volume come from lay scholars, men and women, prepared to investigate archives and ask questions that may not have occurred to the Jesuits involved. The overall result is a volume with a very high standard of scholarship and remarkably few misprints. […] at present the book is an indispensable pointer in the right direction.”
Joseph A. Munitiz, Campion Hall, Oxford. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 67, No. 1 (2016), pp. 212-213.
“The editors are to be commended for ambitiously attempting nothing less than a renewed historiography.”
Stephen Schloesser, Loyola University, Chicago. In: The Journal of Religious History, Literature and Culture, Vol. 2, No. 1 (2016), pp. 118-120.
A “uniformly impressive book.”
