In this enlightening book, William Barry and Robert Doherty explain just what makes Jesuits tick. Through an exploration of Jesuit spirituality-what makes it different from other spiritualities, even Ignatian spirituality-they help readers understand
this religious order that has played a significant role in the life of individuals, of communities and of cultures.
They demonstrate that at the heart of Jesuit spirituality lies a set of lifegiving and creative tensions between, for example, companionship and mission, obedience and learning from experience, and center and periphery in the Church.
The ideal reader of this book-
-graduates of Jesuit schools and universities.
-those who work with Jesuits.
-anyone interested in the spirituality of the Catholic Church.
