I didn’t initially know when I started reading this what I expected or wanted to get out of it. I’m a Roman Catholic, so I thought it would be interesting to read about one of the greatest saints. (He is included in the canon of the mass, so he must be great, right?

Interesting narrative from St Ignatius with historical commentary alongside. I actually really enjoyed reading this as a relatively non-religious person

Una mirada a la vida de este gran santo. Me llama particularmente la atención el contexto de época, y la participación del Santo Oficio en cada una de las investigaciones que le hicieron.
