"Compelle intrare": since the time of St Augustine, St Luke's words in the parable of the Banquet have served as a justification for forced conversion to Christianity. Challenging this tradition, in 1686 Pierre Bayle denounced how a literal interpretation of the parable had led to a long line of crimes, and argued that "nothing is more abominable than obtaining conversion by coercion". In recent decades, scholarly research on conversion in the Early Modern Age has increasingly focused on intriguing aspects such as the fluidity of converts' identity and their crossing of borders both geographical and confessional. This book takes a different perspective and brings the focus back to the dark side of conversion, to the varying degrees of violence that accompanied Catholic missionary activities in the non-European World in the 16th and 17th centuries. The essays collected here examine three areas where, sometimes visibly, sometimes much more subtly, the violent aspects of conversion took shape: doctrine, missionary practice, and the conversion narratives. Investigating the connection between violence and conversion is a way to reflect not only on the early modern world, but also on that of the present day, when conversion including by coercion has yet again become a significant issue.

If there is one constant in the history of Christianity and especially of the Western Church, it is its deep desire to be connected with its own past. From the perspective of the longue durée, it might even be possible to state that a meditation on Christian origins was a common and widespread response used throughout history in the face of each great moment of crisis within the Church. In those situations, the rhetoric produced by the Church was always aimed at emphasizing a desire to return to these mythical roots, the ideal community, a pure and radical Christianity. The question underlying this book is the way in which this desire for the past provides the occasion to re-live, re-think and re-create Christian origins. More precisely, the crux of our work is to understand how this desire can transform and rewrite the past both in materiality with restorations of ancient monuments and in ideas writing history. In this book, the main focus of attention is dedicated to three key moments, corresponding more or less to three crucial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church in the modern era. The first of these three is the Reformation and subsequent Counter-Reformation, between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Second comes the moment in which the Catholic Church lost its temporal power during the Unification of Italy and the "spiritual" reaction culminating with the First Vatican Council (1869-1870). Lastly is the period before and after the Second.

Brossura. Condizione: new. Roma, 2022; br., pp. 700, 40 ill. col., cm 15,5x23. (La Storia. Temi. 104). Tra Cinque e Settecento a Roma confluì un'infinità di storie di conversioni inviate da missionari attivi in Africa, Asia e America, un corpus colossale di racconti di cui questo volume raccoglie e commenta un'ampia selezione. Nonostante i tentativi delle autorità cattoliche per irreggimentarli in un genere "edificante", si tratta di racconti spirituali che testimoniano una realtà, nei fatti, spesso brutale: bambini rapiti, principi suicidi, adolescenti inseguiti con un'ascia, schiavi condannati al patibolo dopo una breve catechesi. Eppure, queste storie sono attraversate da una certa felicità narrativa e catturano lo scambio tra visibile e invisibile proprio di ogni conversione, evocando visionarie metamorfosi di corpi e di anime. A Ceylon uno stormo di aironi parlanti rapisce un contadino hindu che poi si fa cristiano, nelle foreste del Brasile un crocifisso ligneo solleva la testa e induce alla conversione un intero regno, e così via, passando per schiave georgiane, neonati persiani, regine angolane, ciechi cantori giapponesi, indemoniate vietnamite. Suddiviso in sezioni tematiche, il libro combina i sofisticati strumenti e i necessari filtri della ricerca storica con una lettura dei testi sempre attenta al dettaglio, così da restituirne la ricchezza di significati e l'esuberanza linguistica, senza coprire il rumore di fondo di una folla di esistenze appena delineate, eppure memorabili.
