Words of the Sufis. Muslim Mysticism and the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius

Author : Maurice de Fenoyl, sj
Resource related to the group « Islam and society in contemporary Spain »

Résumé :

This compilation of Sufi texts sets in relation Saint Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises with
the diverse expressions of the Muslim spirituality. Taking into account that the selection of the author comprises fourteen centuries, its interest is not so much genealogical but comparative. The alphabetic order of the different themes allows the most evident immediate search, although the interlaced reading of texts, authors, and diverse epochs, permits other outcomes.

Résumé :

Cette compilation de textes soufis met en relation les Exercices spirituels de Saint Ignace avec les diverses expressions de la spiritualité musulmane. En tenant compte du fait que la sélection de l’auteur comprend quatorze siècles, son intérêt n’est pas tant généalogique que comparatif. L’ordre alphabétique des différents thèmes thèmes permet la recherche immédiate la plus évidente, mais la lecture entrelacée de textes, d’auteurs et d’époques diverses, permet d’autres résultats.
