Synopsis

This rich, scholarly guide to the Religious State lucidly reveals the nature of this calling. Through the prism of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), this book offers detailed examination of the vows of religious life: poverty, chastity, and obedience. The author, a priest of that Society, presents a wealth of historical context by situating the tenets of the Society of Jesus within the wider practice of religious orders and monasticism. In engaging, accessible language, the author then delves into the Society's unique approach, including its emphasis on practical works of mercy, spiritual exercises, and the active role of scholastics in the order. The book also explores the principles of discernment and other formative processes through which men are integrated into the Society of Jesus. Ultimately, this book not only offers a comprehensive analysis of Jesuit practice but also contributes to the broader understanding of the religious life in the Catholic tradition.
