An engaging introductory textbook of Catholic theology presented through the thought of Ignatius of Loyola Who Will You Become? reimagines an introduction to Catholic theology through the framework of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. In this textbook, Ryan G. Duns, SJ, and Conor M. Kelly draw on the concept of discernment-praying and meditating before making decisions-in the Jesuit tradition, and they invite readers to engage with the formative potential of theological studies. This book explains the foundations of Catholic theology in a relatable fashion with practical spiritual exercises for discernment and spiritual growth. Grounding theological concepts in contemporary examples, Duns and Kelly present this accessible introduction to Catholic theology as both a "way of thinking" and a "way of living."
Ryan G. Duns, SJ, is an associate professor in the Department of Theology at Marquette University. He received his PhD in systematic theology from Boston College and has published widely. His most recent books include Spiritual Exercises for a Secular Age: Desmond and the Quest for God; Rene? Girard, Theology, and Pop Culture; and Theology of Horror: The Hidden Depths of Popular Films. Conor M. Kelly is an associate professor in the Department of Theology at Marquette University. He is the author of The Fullness of Free Time: A Theological Account of Leisure and Recreation in the Moral Life and is coeditor, with Kristin Heyer, of The Moral Vision of Pope Francis: Expanding the US Reception of the First Jesuit Pope (GUP, 2024).
"In a work that creatively weaves together examples from history, literature, and popular culture, this book introduces students to Catholic theology by exploring how we make decisions, both large and small. A wonderful resource." -Erin M. Cline, Paul J. and Chandler M. Tagliabue Distinguished Professor in Interfaith Studies & Dialogue, Georgetown University
