Format:Paperback
This is part of the "Classics of Western Spirituality" series, and focusses upon the life and works of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The volume contains a lot of works - a comprehesive contemporary Biography, a copy of Ignatius' Autobiography, sections from the Consitutions of the Society of Jesus, the Spiritual Diary and most importantly the Spiritual Exercises.
I used this manual for the exercises rather than for anything else. It is an excellent and up-to-date whilst uncorrupted translations, and they are laid out in an unusually helpful manner. The biography sets the exercises into context and was a surprising help.
I would struggle to criticise this book.

An excellent compliation
10 Oct 1997
Format:Paperback
"The Classics of Western Spirituality" from Paulist Press has been dedicated, over the last twenty years, to producing excellent translations, and this is no exception. The compliation includes a detailed Introduction, the Autobiography, the Spiritual Excerices, and fragments of the Constitutions and the Spiritual Diary. Though it would have benefited from the inclusion of the Formula - an essential document in its own right - this volume provides intelligent translations and crtical explorations into the sometimes-confusing meaning of Ignatius' prose. The selections from the Diary are especially recommended, as they comprise - to my knowledge - the only fragments translated into English, and are thoughtfully printed so as to give the reader a feel for the outlay of the work, scribbled in Ignatius' journal. Highly recommended.

St. Ignatius of Loyola
18 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
An enlightening book about St. Ignatius of Loyola... It has an informative introduction and autobiography about his life. The second half of the book is a listing and description of his spiritual exercises.
I have heard so much about St. Ignatius from my spiritual director so I was curious about him, his life and spiritual exercises. This book gives a good summary.
It is written in an academic and fairly difficult fashion. It is not easy reading, although it is inspirational.
