Book Description:

The book re-evaluates the so-called autobiography of Ignatius Loyola (ca. 1491-1556) against the backgrounds of the spiritual geography of Luke's New Testament writings and the culture of Renaissance humanism. The analysis focuses on the language Ignatius used when dictating the text, the events he chose to include or exclude, and the cultures that helped to shape his spiritual emphases.
