Overview

The sixteenth century saw an enormous revival in Christian spirituality. The Lives and Letters of the Counter-Reformation is a small but quintessential glimpse into that tumultuous century, revealing the lives and personal writings of some of the biggest spiritual and ecclesial leaders of the Catholic Church—whose legacy still guides the Church today.

Beginning with St. Charles Borromeo—who championed the Counter-Reformation by weeding corruption out of the church and reforming the teachings of seminaries—this collection covers four must-know spiritual leaders in that century, including the French religious order foundress, St. Jane Frances de Chantal, the missionary and co-founder of the Jesuit order, St. Francis Xavier, and the Spanish priest and scholastic Doctor of the Church, John of Ávila.
