A World on Fire - Sharing the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises with Other Religions (Paperback)

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola give shape to the
spiritual lives of Jesuits and many other Christians. But might
these different ways of praying, meditating, and reading scripture
be helpful to members of other faiths as well? In response to the
call of Fr. Adolfo Nicolas, SJ, the thirtieth Superior General of
the Jesuits (2008-2016) to explore how the Ignatian Spiritual
Exercises can be fruitfully appropriated by non-Christians, A World
on Fire analyzes the prospects for adapting the Spiritual Exercises
in order to make them accessible to members of other faith
traditions while still maintaining their core meaning and
integrity. Erin Cline examines why this ought to be done, for whom,
and what the aims of such an adaptation would be, including the
different theological justifications for this practice. She
concludes that there are compelling reasons for sharing the
Exercises with members of other religions and that doing so coheres
with the central mission of the Jesuits. A World on Fire goes on to
examine the question of how the Exercises can be faithfully adapted
for members of other religions. In outlining adaptations for the
Hindu, Buddhist, and Confucian traditions that draw upon the
traditional content of the Exercises supplemented by the texts of
these religious traditions, Cline shows how Ignatian spirituality
can help point the way to a different kind of inter-religious
dialogue - one that is not bound up in technical terminology or
confined to conversations between theologians and religious
leaders. Rather, in making the Spriitual Exercises accessible to
members of other faith traditions, we are as Pope Francis puts it,
"living on a frontier, one in which the Gospel meets the needs of
the people to whom it should be proclaimed in an understandable and
meaningful way." A World on Fire will be of interest to comparative
theologians and scholars working on inter-religious dialogue,
religious pluralism, contemplative studies, and spirituality, as
well as Jesuit priests and other practitioners who employ the
Spiritual Exercises in their ministry.
