The Exercises of St Igantius Loyola

Drawing on rediscovered source material, as well as on extensive familiarity with the Western spiritual tradition, Javier Melloni casts an important new light on two key issues of Ignatian spirituality - its indebtedness to the tradition and the way it departs from it. A landmark study in our understanding of both the specific and the contemporary relevance of Ignatian spirituality. Javier Melloni was born in Barcelona. He has studied in Kerala and Paris, and is now working in his home country in the retreat house known as the Cave of St Ignatius in Manresa.
