5.0 out of 5 stars
Good read, Great insight, December 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Autobiography of St. Ignatius Loyola (Paperback)
The title itself is somewhat misleading. The text is not, per se, an autobiography as authored by St. Ignatius but rather, is a transcript written from memory of the results of several interviews with the Saint by a fellow Jesuit. However, the insight into the character of Ignatius through the report of the autobiography is remarkable. Further, the story of his life itself provides wonderful background for exploring the socio-historical context Spiritual Exercies of St. Ignatius.

Ignatius, January 28, 2004
This review is from: The Autobiography of St. Ignatius Loyola (Paperback)
Ignatius words and zeal are much easier to read than texts such as Luther's "On Christian Liberty". Ignatius seems to speak much more plainly of his faith journey, expressing his ideas and doubts in the way that a fellow faith seeker can relate to.
