| Summary: | The pedagogy of Jesus was mystagogy. The Fathers of the Church too adapted thepedagogy of Jesus. Staying within this long-standing Christian tradition, Ignatius ofLoyola too emerges as a mystagogue. This conclusion is drawn after an exegeticalstudy of some selected texts of the Autobiography of Ignatius. «Things of God» is akey concept in the Autobiography, which refers to the experiential knowledge of Godrather than knowledge about God derived from academic learning alone. Men andwoman of experience of God, who can also help others to discover the hidden mysteryof God within their souls, i. e. , mystagogues, are what our Church needs today. |
