An engaging introductory textbook of Catholic theology presented through the thought of Ignatius of LoyolaWho 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."
