Extract: »Seen against this broader background, Ulrich Lehner’s simultaneously brilliant and disturbing book about sexual violence and misconduct in the early modern Society of Jesus, Inszenierte Keuschheit (Staged chastity), provides another long overdue contribution to enriching Jesuit history by studying its darker dimensions. Generally speaking, while sexual delinquency of various kinds has received some attention in relation to the early modern Catholic Church at large, it has not yet been a particularly prominent topic among Jesuit scholars.« (Source: Article, p. 144-145)
