The Spirituality of Diego de Pantoja on The Seven Victories

Kwong-pui CHAN

This article examines the thoughts of Diego de Pantoja in his famous book The Seven Victories from the perspective of spiritual theology. Most researchers of this book focus on the Christian-Confucian dialogue, or, a few of them, on spirituality with reference to Thomas Aquinas’ theology. This paper argues that Pantoja’s major concerns are with the spirituality of Chinese Catholics and the God-human relationship of his readers rather than religious dialogue, and his understanding of spirituality in The Seven Victories follows the tradition of Ignatius de Loyola more than Aquinas.
