The Witness of John Calvin and Ignatius Loyola

This book is an interesting and important contribution to the dialogue between the Churches in Ireland. It brings together theologians and pastors from two Christian traditions in Ireland - Catholicism and Presbyterianism - to explore the legacy of two significant figures, John Calvin and Ignatius Loyola. Calvin and Loyola, contemporaries in their student days at the University of Paris, in the turmoil of the Reformation subsequently chose different paths. The papers in this collection from a conference held in St Patrick's College, Maynooth, put into relief the important values they held in common - a profound faith in Christ, a dedication to? his people in the community of the Church and to mission as they understood it.?
