This volume represents a major contribution to our appreciation of the place of Shakespeare—and, indeed, all great literature—in the formation and training of students, especially Catholics, who live in a post-secular world. The authors masterfully combine careful and original readings of Shakespeare’s major works with insights into their application to human life and the question of God. This exciting collection brings cutting-edge scholarship into conversation with the daily challenges faced by educators who hope to speak religiously to all students, from the skeptical to the devout.Rev. Prof. Brian Dunkle, S.J., Ph.D.Boston College Clough School of Theology and MinistryThis is a book about big themes and profound questions—who are we, what’s right, and who are we called to be. Anyone who has taught literature knows how Shakespeare can move students to think deeply about all the things that make being human so complicated—from love and desire to jealousy and lies. The authors of this volume provide a great service by putting all that into conversation with the richness of the Catholic tradition. I can imagine teachers, not only in Catholic institutions but in all schools committed to the humanities, finding this book especially helpful. Dean Rev. Prof. Mick McCarthy, S.J., Ph.D. Boston College Clough School of Theology and Ministry
