Conversatio Divina

Willard’s Four Critical Commitments

The Essential Quadrilateral for Authentic Spiritual Change and Transformation

In this essay, we have attempted to offer an overview of the mission of the Conversatio Divina (conversatio.org) website, provide an overview of Willard’s four concerns, and to explain why we choose to feature the voices of ancient Christian spirituality, Ignatian spirituality and Dallas Willard. Willard’s core commitments shaped his entire academic and ministry career.
