The General Who Rebuilt The Jesuits by Robert G. North is a historical biography that tells the story of Father Pedro Arrupe, a Spanish Jesuit priest who became the Superior General of the Society of Jesus in 1965. Arrupe was a visionary leader who transformed the Jesuits into a modern and socially engaged order, emphasizing the importance of social justice, human rights, and interfaith dialogue.The book traces Arrupe's life from his early years in Spain to his work as a missionary in Japan, where he witnessed the devastation of World War II and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. It then follows his rise to leadership in the Jesuits and his efforts to reform the order in the wake of Vatican II.North's book provides a detailed and engaging account of Arrupe's life and work, drawing on extensive research and interviews with those who knew him. It offers insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the Catholic Church in the mid-twentieth century, as well as the complex dynamics of the Jesuit order.Overall, The General Who Rebuilt The Jesuits is a compelling and informative biography that sheds light on one of the most influential figures in modern Catholic history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
