Other editions of book The Spiritual Exercises Of St. Ignatius: Based On Studies In The Language Of The Autograph

In inspirational value, practical outlook and far-reaching influence few books have surpassed The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. The handiwork of the humble Basque nobleman fills every requirement for what is often loosely referred to as a "spiritual classic." This new translation is based on studies in the language of the Autograph. The aim of the present volume is to represent, as nearly as possible, idea with idea, Spanish sentence structure with English sentence structure and the quaint forms of the original with the familiar forms of the present.

This translation aims to represent as nearly as possible the Spanish idiom with the corresponding English idiom,and Spanish sentence structure with English sentence structure. The term "Spiritual Exercises" means examination of conscience, meditation, contemplation, vocal and mental prayer, and other spiritual activities that the Spanish saint performed so well.
