Luebke proposes three objectives for this volume of essays designed to introduce student readers to issues regarding the Counter-Reformation. He promises to cover a "wide variety of themes" related to religious history and religious culture, to include "a variety of historiographical approaches and interpretive frameworks," and finally to present the Counter-Reformation "as it unfolded in a variety of political and cultural landscapes." To this end, the anthology includes three essays that review debates "over the label 'Counter-Reformation,'" and six essays that "measure the impact of Catholic reforms on various aspects of social, cultural, and political life during the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries." Essays include: Hubert Jedin, "Catholic Reformation or Counter-Reformation?"; H. Outram Evennett, "Counter-Reformation Spirituality"; John W O'Malley, SJ, "Was Ignatius Loyola a Church Reformer?
