In particular, he examines the relationship with the \u003ci\u003eDevotio Moderna\u003c\/i\u003e and other northern mystical authors, such as John of Ruusbroec and the \u003ci\u003eInstitutiones Taulerianae\u003c\/i\u003e. Through a number of case studies that focus on figures such as Peter Canisius, Achille Gagliardi, Jean-Joseph Surin, Jean-Nicolas Grou, and others, Faesen demonstrates that Jesuit spirituality cannot be reduced to the Ignatian \u003ci\u003eSpiritual Exercises\u003c\/i\u003e alone. Rather, it has developed through a creative and ongoing dialogue with earlier spiritual and mystical texts. Within this context, the \u003ci\u003eDevotio Moderna\u003c\/i\u003e occupies a distinctive place. It is itself a multifaceted movement, represented by a range of authors including Florens Radewijns, Gerard Zerbolt, Gerlach Peters, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRob Faesen, S.J., PhD (1997), is Emeritus Professor of the History of Christian Spirituality at KU Leuven and the Tilburg School of Catholic Theology.
