The Christian retreat movement has been growing in recent years. This book aims to show how to integrate a retreat into everyday life and to allow readers to adapt the teachings of St Ignatius and the Jesuit tradition to their own needs.
The editors of the highly acclaimed The Study of Liturgy now turn their attention to the other major area of Christian devotion: spirituality. The scope of the book is enormous and richly varied; over sixty writers have been employed to cover the wide range of 'schools' and teachers of prayer and spiritual life since the earliest days of Christianity.
