The Testament Of Ignatius Loyola (1900) - Paperback

by Ignatius (Author), E. M. Rix (Translator), George Tyrrell (Foreword by)

The Testament of Ignatius Loyola is a book written by Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus (also known as the Jesuits). It was originally written in Spanish in 1556, but this particular edition was translated into English and published in 1900. The book is essentially Loyola's spiritual autobiography, in which he reflects on his personal journey of faith and his experiences as a Christian. It is divided into three parts: the first part covers Loyola's early life and conversion to Christianity, the second part discusses his experiences as a pilgrim and his time spent studying theology, and the third part focuses on his work as a missionary and the founding of the Jesuits.Throughout the book, Loyola emphasizes the importance of prayer, self-examination, and obedience to God's will. He also offers advice on how to discern God's will in one's life and how to live a life of service to others.Overall, The Testament of Ignatius Loyola is a deeply spiritual and introspective work that offers insight into the life and teachings of one of the most influential figures in Christian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
