Suenens Fall Book Series Presents Fr. Brian O. McDermott, S.J.

On Wednesday, September 26, noon-1:00p.m. in the Faculty Dining Room Fr. Brian O. McDermott, S.J. will discuss the book Jesus of Nazareth by Pope Benedict XVI.

Jesus of Nazareth has commanded world-wide attention and has enjoyed months on The New York Times best-seller list. The author's aim is to salvage the person of Jesus from recent "popular" depictions and to restore Jesus' true identity as discovered in the Gospels. The pope writes as theologian and believer and offers a rich compelling flesh-and-blood portrait of the central figure of the Christian faith.

Fr. Brian O. McDermott, S.J. is the rector of the Jesuit Community at Loyola College Baltimore and teaches theology at the college. He is the author of What are They Saying About the Grace of Christ? and Word Become Flesh:Dimensions of Christology. He holds a doctorate from the University of Nijmigen (Netherlands).

Bring your own lunch and beverage or pre-order a Buffet Lunch at $8.00. Early reservations are recommended. Contact: cbrooks@jcu.edu

The Fall Book Series is co-Sponsored by The Cardinal Suenens Center in Theology and Church Life and The Grasselli Library and Breen Learning Center
