Go 'Into the Deep' with a Diehard Feminist Who Converted to Catholicism

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3, 2024 /Standard Newswire/ -- Critically acclaimed author Dr. Abigail Favale opens up about her unlikely path to converting to Catholicism from a radical feminist standpoint in her book INTO THE DEEP: AN UNLIKELY CATHOLIC CONVERSION (Ignatius Press).

Favale, Ph.D., is a writer and professor in the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame. A Catholic convert with an academic background in gender studies, Favale writes and speaks regularly on topics related to women and gender from a Catholic perspective.

Favale speaks to the very heart of some of the biggest hurdles that women in particular wrestle with -- or outright despise -- when speaking about the Catholic faith in INTO THE DEEP: women priests, wifely submission, contraception and abortion.

Born into an evangelical family, Favale was searching for her place in the world from an early age through an inquisitive mind that led her to choose a rebellious lifestyle as a teenager, then to the castle of postmodern feminism, and then, eventually, to Catholicism. INTO THE DEEP is a very raw, honest and, at times, hilarious, account of her foray into feminism and how she came to deeply understand the Catholic Church's teachings on women in the Church -- mostly after she converted to the faith.

"There are events in life that leave you changed forever, right down to the very roots and heart of your being, because they go 'into the deep.' Like this book," said Peter Kreeft, bestselling author and philosophy professor at Boston College. "Reading it is bound to be an event like that in the lives of two classes of readers if they dare to read it with open minds and hearts: those who call themselves Evangelicals and those who call themselves Christian 'feminists.' The theology is profoundly Christ-centered, the psychology trustworthily honest, and the style winsomely alive."
