Reviews
excellent volume ... a welcome introduction into Jesuit mysticism and beyond. Philipp Reisner, Heinrich-Heine-Universitat Dusseldorf. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 49, No. 2 (summer 2018), pp. 527-529. Though written by active scholars, the essays in the volume are accessible to non-specialist readers; indeed, though the specialist has something to learn from these texts, they are probably most valuable for newcomers to this field. Timothy W. O'Brien, S.J. In: The Way, Vol. 57, No. 1 (January 2018), pp. 115-116. I highly recommend this edited volume for the light it casts on historical and contemporary engagements with Ignatian spirituality, both as an active contemplative tradition of prayer, and as a stepping stone into the mystical traditions of infused prayer and prayer of quiet. [...] Readers of this volume-both academics and practitioners-will find these articles challenging, informative, and enriching. Francis X. McAloon, S.J., Fordham University. In: Spiritus: A Journal of Christian Spirituality, Vol. 19, No. 1 (Spring 2019), pp. 168-172.
