This pioneering study investigates the connection between Shakespeare and Catholic education. Its authors contend that Shakespeare's plays explore Catholic understandings of human life in ways that remain relevant for Catholic educational institutions today.

Through chapters focusing on ethical and existential themes - love, desire, the body, marriage, virginity, evil, finitude, jealousy, and lies - the authors demonstrate Shakespeare's wide-ranging engagement with early modern Catholic belief and practice. At the same time, they argue that Shakespeare's treatment of Catholic faith, through imaginative literature rather than magisterial discourse, and dramatically rather than didactically, provides a pedagogical model for contemporary teachers.
