About this ebook

Converting the Blue Devils presents the stories of nine friends and colleagues who studied at Duke Divinity School and eventually converted or reverted to the Catholic faith. While each man tells the story of his own unique journey, they all arrive at the same destination: the conviction that the fullness of the Christian truth, goodness, beauty, and unity they long for is found in the Catholic Church.

What was it that made Duke during these years so amenable to Catholicism? This volume attempts an answer, and in so doing it sheds light on a wider movement of young, orthodox, intellectually-motivated Christians who are turning to the truth that flows from the Tiber.
