Facing Race : The Gospel In An Ignatian Key
$30.00Add to cartA noted Jesuit theologian offers a new lens for all Christians to see, acknowledge, and oppose racism.
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, a foundational tool in the formation of Jesuits, has become widely popular as the basis for spiritual direction and discernment among Christians of many sorts. In a sequence of meditations on the life, mission, and passion of Christ, the Exercises direct a person to engage in a process of self-examination and ongoing conversion to the Gospel. This involves a focus on one’s personal sin and desire for repentance. In this reading of the Exercises, Roger Haight takes as a reference point the social sin of racism.
