Summary
In this episode of the Encyclopedia of Catholic Theology podcast, Dr. Daniel Keating reflects on his article on deification and offers a personal account of the formation—spiritual, intellectual, and ecclesial—that has shaped his theological vocation. From his early years in Cleveland to his Jesuit education, studies at Oxford, and life in Christian community, Dr. Keating traces a journey marked by fidelity to Christ and the Church. The conversation also explores the vocation of the theologian as teacher, the formative power of seminary education, and the enduring relevance of the Church Fathers. Throughout, the doctrine of deification emerges not as an abstract idea but as a living reality grounded in Scripture, nourished by tradition, and made possible by grace.
