Stephan Rothlin and Bruno S. Frey
Jesus’ parable of the Prodigal Son still has the power to shock us, with the profligate younger brother being rewarded and the scrupulous older one seemingly penalised. Can contemporary economic theory throw some light on the response of the father to his two sons?
Jean-Michel Laurent
Jean-Michel Laurent continues his reflection on the nature of priestly formation, particularly in an African context. Here he considers the role that feelings have in helping a candidate, and those responsible for his formation, come to a responsible assessment of his vocation.
Robert R. Marsh
One way of classifying spiritualites is by the name of the founding figure associated with them. Rob Marsh, who works in the Loyola Hall Spirituality Centre on Merseyside, here asks what it is that is distinctive about ‘Ignatian’ spirituality.
George Tyrrell
To mark the centenary of his death, The Way presents three meditations from a collection by the Jesuit George Tyrrell, who would later be expelled from the order when it was thought that he had gone too far in adapting Christian teaching to contemporary patterns of scientific thought.
Robert E. Doud
Alfred North Whitehead was a philosopher and logician writing in the first half of the twentieth century. Robert Doud finds perhaps surprising parallels between his work and Ignatian spirituality by looking at how each approaches the idea of commitment.
Wolfgang Beinert
A forthcoming revision of the official texts used in Roman Catholic liturgy is provoking intense debate. Wolfgang Beinert shows how the translation of a single phrase can illustrate many of the issues involved in this discussion.

Alberto Ares Meteos
‘Yellow arrows’ are used to guide walkers along the pilgrim trails to Compostella in Spain. Using this image, Alberto Ares Meteos offers a contemporary reading of the Two Standards meditation in the Spiritual Exercises.
Richard Shortall
For some years now in Europe and North America ‘weeks of guided prayer’ have allowed those unable to visit a spirituality centre to enjoy many of the benefits of a guided retreat. How can this model be adapted to the situation of rural Australia? Richard Shorthall describes one such venture.
Howard Worsley
Jesus told his followers that they must become like little children, and Francis of Assisi is one of those who has taken this injunction most literally. Here Howard Worsley uses the psychological theory of the ‘inner child’ to present a Franciscan spirituality for the twenty-first century.
