Title: Loyola's greater narrative
Description: "Through complex interactions of different imaginative functions, Loyola's text is able to superpose a variety of simultaneous narrative levels. In order to reformulate the "greater narrative" (the Magisterium) of the Roman faith beyond what is revealed in Scripture, the Spiritual Exercises require their exercitant to become an active participant in this narrative through constant visual contact with "orders of corruption," that is, spaces in which virtue can be confronted with physical decay and sin."--BOOK JACKET.
