- '
Fascinating ... Endean has tried to make Rahner intelligible and credible. He has convincingly demonstrated the originality and the importance of Rahner's contribution to theology. His book is a work of impressive scholarship, well written, closely argued, and extremely well documented ... will be found enlightening and encouraging by anyone interested in the Spiritual Exercises
of
Ignatius of Loyola and indeed in the Christain life in general.
' - Journal of Theological Studies
- 'The book is an impressive work of scholarship. Endean's treatment of both Ignatius and Rahner is not slavish, but sympathetic, well documented and sensitive. The book is balanced in its judgements, and offers an impressive and persuasive account of a most complex set of writings. It will be welcomed by specialists in Ignatius' writings as well as by systematic theologians.' - Theology
- 'His [Endean's] grasp of the Ignatian material is most impressive, and his efforts to translate Rahner's philosophical and theological obscurities into a more sober British philosophical style are remarkably successful.' - Theology
- 'Superbly written ... As a sophisticated and densely written account of the fundamental influences on one of the twentieth century's seminal theologians, this book will rapidly become indispensable reading ... much to be recommended.' - The Way

| Description | | - The first book to highlight Rahner's debt to the spirituality of Ignatius of Loyola
| |
Karl Rahner SJ, (1904-1984), perhaps the most influential figure in twentieth-century Roman Catholic theology, believed that the most significant influence on his work was Ignatius Loyola's Spiritual Exercises
. This book casts significant new light on Rahner's achievement by presenting it against the background of the rediscovery of Ignatian spirituality in the middle decades of the
twentieth century. It offers a fresh and contemporary theological interpretation of Ignatian retreat-giving, illuminating the creative new departures this ministry has taken in the last thirty years, as well as contributing to the lively current debate regarding the relationship between spirituality and speculative theology.
