Spiritual Combat Revisited
Author: Fr. Jonathan Robinson
Fr. Robinson has done a great service in revitalizing Lorenzo Scupoli’s classic, Spiritual Combat, so that contemporary Catholics can rediscover this rich work that has served many generations of Catholics. This book is about the life of prayer and personal reform and renewal. It fits squarely into the tradition of the “great masters” of the spiritual life, and to the line of great modern writers on spirituality. It is a work of particular relevance that confronts modern culture with the tough-minded, deeply authentic challenge of spiritual combat.
Robinson
has retained Scupoli’s appeal to the Catholic reader through a conversational
style, short chapters, familiar examples from everyday life, and the pastoral
bent which has marked his own outstanding career. Covering the basic difficulties
of daily prayer and of obstacles to living the virtues, Scupoli and Robinson
test the mettle of real Catholics by calling us to live an interior life for
and with God.
“A serious, but readable, contemporary presentation of the spiritual wisdom
contained in a 16th century spiritual classic which St. Francis De Sales highly
praised. Robinson has a profound understanding and appreciation for the ‘spiritual
combat’ dimension of our journey toward union with God.”
—Ralph Martin, Author, Called to Holiness
