Ignatius of Loyola
Christian Devotional Classics: Ignatius of Loyola
Introduction

This summer in Christian Devotional Classics (Evangelical Seminary), I presented on Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491 – 1556) and the Spiritual Exercises (1522 to 1524). Considering the importance of the Society of Jesus in higher education, future posts are already in concept — if this is a project of interest, please email me.
In the first part of this post is a rough timeline of a Spanish knight who became a mystical “Soldier for Christâ€Â pioneering an educational, missional, and spiritual Counter-Reformation. In the second part one finds a week of reflections on “What Saint Ignatius of Loyola and the Spiritual Exercises have to say to us today.”
