[M]akes the fascinating and complex history of the order accessible to a new generation of readers.

National Catholic Reporter

This is an excellent short history of the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, in the US.

CHOICE connect

Collins's ability to interest readers in an ever-changing set of people and events while orienting them to key moments and trends in a welter of shifting imperial, national, and denominational histories is striking.

[D]avid Collins has excelled at the task, producing a gem of a book that provides readers with an engaging and accessible introduction to a complex story.

Jesuit Higher Education

The book offers glimpses of color and drama while providing a sturdy framework within which to understand Jesuit actions and contributions....An unusually rich array of images, including maps, portraits, and handwritten documents from the archive, further enhance this smart, elegant volume's appeal.

Journal of Jesuit Studies

The book would be welcome in an undergraduate course on religion in North America and in a survey of Catholic Studies, while its readability also makes it attractive for general audiences....Collins maintains a measured tone throughout, nicely balancing individual profiles with larger trends, and social forces versus internal decisions and Vatican pressures....

American Catholic Studies

[D]avid Collins, SJ, has...summarized the story of the Society of Jesus (at least in the United States) in a crisp, 200-page narrative that most readers will be able to digest in a sitting or two....It is, therefore, an excellent primer to the history of the Jesuits and will hopefully become a bedrock introductory text for future generations of readers.

Journal of Church and State

Fr. David Collins, S.J. has produced a compact and thoroughly engaging study of America's Jesuits.

Catholic Southwest

A distinctive and modern telling of the history of the Society of Jesus in America The history of America cannot be told without the history of religion, the history of American religion cannot be told without the history of Catholicism, and the history of Catholicism in America cannot be told without the history of Jesuits in America. Jesuits in the United States offers a panoramic overview of the Jesuit order in the United States from the colonial era to the present. David J. Collins, SJ, describes the development of the Jesuit order in the US against the background of American religious, cultural, and social history. He covers the papacy’s suppression of the order and its restoration period. The author also compares Jesuit activities in the US to those in Europe and, by the twentieth century, to those around the world, as the political and religious connections between the US and the world, especially Latin America, grow.. Collins also reflects on the future of the order in light of its past. Readers familiar with the Jesuit tradition and those who are new to it will learn from this book’s distinctive and modern perspective—using twenty-first century scholarship on Jesuit slaveholding, the sexual abuse crisis, and other contemporary issues—on 500 years of Jesuit history in the United States.

An absolutely superb overview of the history and legacy of the Jesuits in the United States by a top-notch scholar and gifted writer. Beautifully written, expertly researched, and masterfully presented by a Jesuit who has taught this fascinating tale for many years, Father Collins’s book is bound to become a classic.

"Collins has given us a highly accessible primer on the Society of Jesus in the United States—its goals, activities, methods, animating beliefs, and legacies. Sensitive to important and necessary changes in our understanding of settler colonialism. This book should enlighten fans and critics alike." —Maura Jane Farrelly, author of Papist Patriots: The Making of an American Catholic Identity
