Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book compares two forms of religious enthusiasm in the 18th century: the spiritual awakening led by John Wesley and the Catholic movement under Ignatius Loyola. The author provides close analysis of primary sources from both sides, highlighting similarities and contrasting the methods employed by each movement to provoke religious passion. Topics covered include spiritual possession, reports of miracles, claims of divine assistance and the social and emotional impact of both movements on their followers. The author argues that both Wesley and Loyola sought to harness and control the expressions of religious enthusiasm they inspired, and that their tactics laid the groundwork for the rise of modern revivalism. By setting these two movements side by side, the book provides a rich perspective on the nature of religious experience, the emergence of evangelical Christianity, and the challenges of spiritual leadership.
