Abstract:

The history of the religious Orders coincides with almost half the history of Portugal and a significant part of the history of Europe, representing a momentous presence and a significant influence in human history; especially since the globalization process initiated by the Portuguese and the Spanish maritime expeditions in the early modern age. This volume bring together a number of qualified studies presenting a multifaceted history of the Orders: theology, spirituality, evangelization, catechesis, liturgy, politics, education, art, solidarity, culture, political controversy, social communication, etc. Experts and researchers from different countries and disciplines present here their ground-breaking and comprehensive work on the religious Orders and Congregations, allowing us to better know and understand the formation, institutionalization and extraordinary influence of these institutions through the centuries and in different parts of the globe.
