Overview

Vie chrétienne is a French bimonthly review of Ignatian spirituality, first published in 1957 under the direction of Jesuit fathers. It was taken over in 1985 by the Communauté de vie chrétienne (CVX), and in September 2010 it merged with CVX Info to become the Nouvelle Revue Vie Chrétienne. The review aims to "read the signs of the times (finding God in all things), to form oneself (anthropologically and spiritually), and to bind oneself in community (both nationally and globally)." Today, under the imprint Éditions Vie Chrétienne, the brand publishes the review as well as books and articles exploring Ignatian spirituality. Its website offers the latest issues, books, and articles, with recent themes including spiritual discernment, forgiveness, and the mystery of the Last Judgment. The publication is sold by subscription and individual issue, with prices around 12–16 € per issue. It remains a niche but influential voice in French Catholic intellectual and spiritual life.
