Landmarking: City, Church, and Jesuit Urban Strategy

Landmarking: City, Church, and Jesuit Urban Strategy by Lucas SJ, Thomas M.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780829409734.

Landmarking is the first in-depth study of St. Ignatius revolutionary urban vision for the Jesuit order of priests. Unlike other religious orders of the time, the Jesuits located their apostolates in highly visible city locations where they could not only save souls, but also dialogue with urban culture. Thomas Lucas briskly written, colorful, and anecdotal text offers the specialist and the general reader alike a vivid account of the church as an urban phenomenon. Seventy-two maps, charts, and rare engravings illustrate the text.
