Teoria de los ejercicios espirituales de San Ignacio

Published in 1952 by Libreria Religiosa, this work represents the scholarly output of the Jesuit theologian Juan Roig Gironella. It emerged during a mid-20th-century period of intense theological study within the Society of Jesus, specifically focusing on the interpretation of Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s foundational spiritual manual. The text was intended to provide a systematic, rigorous theological framework for understanding the internal mechanics of the Ignatian exercises.

Roig Gironella was a prominent figure in Spanish intellectual life, and his approach to this work reflects the strict, analytical tradition of Jesuit pedagogy at the time. By framing the exercises through a theoretical lens, the book sought to bridge the gap between mystical practice and formal scholastic theology. It was received primarily as a resource for clergy, students, and practitioners seeking a deeper, doctrine-based understanding of the Ignatian method rather than a purely meditative guide.
