Bishop Barron shows that metanoia or conversion to God, revealed in Christ, is about transforming the mind and soul―from a mind of fear to a mind of trust, and from a pusilla anima (small soul) to a magna anima (great soul)―and that theology itself supports this transformation.

But he also shows that this change conduces not just to a new way of believing or thinking but to a new way of being. Blending insights from the great minds of the theological tradition with the work of literary masters such as Dante, William Faulkner, and Flannery O’Connor, this book is a unique portrait of what it means to open our eyes and see the light.
