“a very interesting volume unified by the examination of the way the emotions were used to make converts or to help Christians make progress in the spiritual life.”John J. LaRocca, Xavier University. In: The Heythrop Journal, Vol. 61, No. 3 (May 2020), p. 527-528.“This book offers for the first time a collection of essays that focus with an innovative perspective on (often overlooked) Jesuit sources. A theoretical overview of the history of emotions in a Jesuit context is followed by multiple case-studies examined by the most important scholars in the field. It efficaciously studies the concrete ways in which emotions were used to “change hearts” of early modern people all over the world (while bringing them under the aegis of this Catholic institution), and it will hopefully encourage further studies on this fascinating topic.”Elisa Frei, Boston College – Università degli Studi di Macerata, in Archivum Historicum Societatis Iesu XC.180, pp.676-678
