A fascinating biographical sketch and theological evaluation of a seventeenth-century Spanish Jesuit moral philosopher and professor at Spain’s oldest and most prestigious institution of higher education, the University of Salamanca (founded in 1218), who also became the thirteenth Superior General of the Jesuit Order. His Eminence examines the life and work of this controversial, brilliant and powerful figure in Western Christianity from an Orthodox standpoint, finding some suprising and interesting Orthodox elements in his moral philosophy and outlook.
