Summary

One can say that the last true revolution in spirituality came with the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola. Many devout Christians use the Exercises unchanged from their origins in the sixteenth century. In the twentieth century, another Jesuit, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, developed a revolutionary spirituality by integrating science and faith, offering us a new way to understand the Word of God and the immensity of the Universal Christ. Unfortunately, he never spelled out how to practice this new understanding in our daily lives. Louis Savary offers an approach on how, the Spiritual Exercises could be re-envisioned for contemporary believers, using the transformative spirituality of Teilhard. The Nov Spiritual Exercises provides a vision of how a twenty-first century Teilhard might have adapted Ignatius' classic workùin the hope that Teilhard himself would approve. --Book Jacket.
