註釋When a Jesuit priest is taken captive by a Guatemalan death squad, two friends from the past rush to his aid. A Jesuit Tale begins in 1968 when three young men, two straight and one gay, from different walks of life, meet in the Jesuit novitiate in St. Paul, Minnesota. Mark is seeking a worthy alternative to his father's professional ambitions. Tom is a fiery idealist, and David is an intelligent young man unsure of his sexuality and place in the world. We follow the lives of each man in their continued search for fulfillment. But it is Tom's journey to Guatemala during a volatile period of civil unrest that will set the stage for their greatest test of faith and loyalty. John Shekleton examines the modern Catholic soul in a compelling novel of friendship, sexual exploration, mysticism and justice. Written with intelligence and grace, he illuminates the fabled attraction of the Jesuit order and gives insight into the extraordinary men who feel its pull. A Jesuit Tale is an absorbing, complex story rich in suspense and human drama. - Back cover.
