Isaac the Syrian lived the solitary life in the 7th century. He was born in Qatar and subsequently lived in present day Iraq and Iran. After life as a monk, then briefly as a bishop, he withdrew to live the solitary life. These discourses are primarily for solitaries to consolidate them in the love and mercy of God. In this volume, the text of Isaac V has also been included because of the light which it sheds on Apocatastasis, of increasing interest in academic and ecclesial circles.

"Written in French during the 1620s, first published in that language in 1694, and translated into English in 1855, the Spiritual Doctrine preserves Louis Lallemant's lessons for Jesuit novices, especially those making their crucial "Third Year." The various editors of the Doctrine did not realize that parts of the original text were missing. Indeed, not until Father Dominique Salin's edition of 2011 were three important treatises, which had been incorrectly attributed to Lallemant's disciple Jean Rigoleuc, restored to their place in the Doctrine, filling troublesome gaps in our reading of Lallemant's mystical thought. This English translation is entirely new. Relying on Father Salin's transcription of the sources, it strives to capture Lallemant's distinctive style and vocabulary. The introduction sketches Lallemant's career, looks briefly at his rhetorical style, summarizes the evidence by which Salin determined that Lallemant was the author of the three retrieved treatises, and concludes with Salin's discussion of how Lallemant's spirituality brought Jesuit apostolic mysticism into a new century, seventy years after the death of Ignatius of Loyola."
