In The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola: Contexts,
Sources, Reception, Terence O'Reilly examines the historical,
theological and literary contexts in which the Exercises took
shape. The collected essays have as their common theme the early
history of the Spiritual Exercises, and the interior life of
Ignatius Loyola to which they give expression. The traditional
interpretation of the Exercises was shaped by writings composed in
the late sixteenth century, reflecting the preoccupations of the
Counter-Reformation world in which they were composed. The
Exercises, however, belong, in their origins, to an earlier period,
before the Council of Trent, and the full recognition of this fact,
and of its implications, has confronted modern scholars with fresh
questions about the sources, evolution, and reception of the work.
This devotional probes the depths of Scripture, calling us to radical
discipleship. Russel D. Fox observes that the church is struggling with
pursuing holiness, which leads to conflict and the splintering of
churches. Drawing from his experiences growing up and his career in the
car business, he shares how to apply biblical principles as you pursue
holiness. He considers questions such as: - What must we do before we
work on our holiness? - How can we draw closer to the Father through
the Son? - How can we enter the kingdom of heaven? - What are the
consequences of sin? You're encouraged to read each devotional with
God's Word open. Take time to chew on what you have read and meditate
on God's Word and journal as you go through this book. These
thought-provoking devotionals will challenge you to go on a deeper,
more profound walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
