Spirit, Style, Story, edited by Thomas M. Lucas SJ

Spirit, Style, Story celebrates the seventy fifth birthday of Father John W. Padberg SJ, as well as his sixty years in the Society of Jesus. The long time Director of the Institute of Jesuit Sources, he is renowned in Jesuit and lay circles for his passionate commitment to scholarship, spirituality, and institutions of learning and culture. Sixteen essays by eminent Jesuit and lay scholars in this festschrift embody the Jesuit reverence for the work of the mind and the heart; they also reflect the essence of Fr Padberg his deep spirituality, his humane style, and his passion for history. As Fr General Kolvenbach phrased it, speaking to Fr Padberg ‘Your love of God … has manifested itself in deeds, and not just in words although quite often your 'deeds' have issued in the publication of many ‘words’. Our Jesuit brotherhood has been richly blessed because of your great passion for our history and our life’.
