| Abstract | In order to identify the main traits of an Ignatian style of dialogue with Islam we look into the life of Saint Ignatius. The 16th century European society was marked by a sense of cultural superiority over Islam together with a fear of the Ottoman Empire?s threat to Christian Europe. Ignatius of Loyola while sharing these views was also influenced by other elements: the Franciscan tradition, a late medieval crusader spirit, a call to human proximity and a call to an adaptive approach to Islam. When integrating these elements in an integral understanding of Ignatian spirituality we find an interesting proposal to approach Islamic-Christian dialogue. The characteristics of this approach are a strong sense of universal mission and a strong call to help the souls. |
