From Ignatius to Ribadeneira.

The Ignatian Spirituality Group, composed of six Spanish and Italian Jesuit professors of theology, just published Essential writings of the first Jesuits. From Ignacio to Ribadeneira (Manresa Collection). Their first work, Dictionary of Ignatian Spirituality (2007), was the result of years of studies of Ignatian spirituality. This new title is the fruit of six years of collaboration on the sources of the Ignatian charism: from the testimonies of early Jesuits to texts from the first three general congregations. Fr. José García de Castro SJ was heading  a team made up of J. Carlos Coupeau SJ, Pascual Cebollada SJ, Javier Melloni SJ, Diego M. Molina SJ and Secondo Bongiovanni SJ.

The anthology gathers the experience, doctrine and spiritual praxis of Ignatius of Loyola and his first companions. The editors wanted to introduce testimonies of the first ten companions of Paris and other important figures to the origins of the Society of Jesus, as Francisco de Borja, Jerónimo Nadal, Juan de Polanco and Pedro de Ribadeneira himself.

This great work has a pedagogical presentation with keywords and a rich index of subjects to make it easier to find your way through the 900 pages.

The book is a great help for those wanting to know more about the origins of Ignatian spirituality and or are involved in spreading this charism through retreats, conferences, seminars and, of course, the spiritual exercises.
