Product Overview

The Formula of the Institute addresses the document, first drafted in 1539, that became the basic “rule” of the Society of Jesus. It laid down the fundamental structure of what was to be a new religious order, prefacing the more robust statutes that became known as The Constitutions of the Society of Jesus. This volume describes the history and significance of the Formula and examines its “chapters,” which include: The Aim of the Society and Its Institutionalization, The Vow of Obedience to the Pope, The Vow of Obedience to the Superior of the Society, and the Vow of Poverty.
