Synopsis

Frontenac, Fur, and Faith examines how accusations of trade against Jesuit missionaries influenced ethics and colonial policy in New France, inviting readers to weigh evidence and motives in a long-running debate.

This work dives into the controversy surrounding Jesuit activity in Canada, tracing how critics and supporters used the same episodes to argue about morality, governance, and the legitimacy of colonial trade. It emphasizes how historians and officials challenged claims, clarified misunderstandings, and shaped policy responses in a complex, changing frontier.

  • Shows how accusations of trade surfaced and recurred across different periods and voices.
  • Explains how these charges affected decisions about Jesuit conduct, colonial governance, and trade regulation.
  • Discusses the role of documentary evidence, interpretation, and historical debate in shaping policy.
  • Offers context for understanding conflicts between church orders, colonial administrators, and traders.
Ideal for readers interested in colonial history, church-state relations, and the ethics of mission work in early North America.
