Both religious and lay people make Ignatian retreats to renew their Christian dedication and enthusiasm, and those who cannot make such retreats have profited greatly from a careful reading of the Eji^mi^i.
Divided into four weeks of meditations and four key meditations— on the Kingdom of God, the Two Standards (of Christ and Satan), the Three Classes of Men, and the Three Modes of Humility^—the whole retreat is informed and crowned by the central positive principle ofthe imitation of Christ. Retreat masters, retreatants, and readers can benefit, in particular, from idiis new translation, which renders the timeless masterpiece into language at once modern and still faithful to St. Ignatius's original expression and spirit.
