In Instruments of the Divinity, Christopher van Ginhoven Rey shows
that an important reflection on God's providential praxis animates
the foundational documents of the Society of Jesus. Focusing on
Saint Ignatius of Loyola's conception of Jesuits as the instruments
of a laboring God, the book explores the philosophical and
theological roots of the metaphor of the instrument and its place
in the social imaginary of the Jesuit order. Close readings of the
Spiritual Exercises, the Jesuit Constitutions, and a selection of
letters by Ignatius call attention to the existence of a rhetoric
of instrumentality that provides the basis for the Society's
project of instruction, its loving affirmation of the world, and
its attempts to differentiate itself from its monastic
predecessors.
