Title: A Candid History of the Jesuits
Available online: 1 issues
Published a century after the papal restoration of the Society of Jesus, Joseph McCabe’s history of the Jesuits promises a “candid” account of the religious order dating back to its establishment in 1540. McCabe, born in England in 1867, was a priest before leaving the Catholic Church to become a popular writer, with such titles as The Myth of the Resurrection and Did Jesus Ever Live? A more balanced history of the Society of Jesus is available at Jesuit Sources. (1913; 1 volume; English)
