2008 Albert Cardinal Meyer Lecture Series

The Theological Contribution of Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J.

The 2008 Meyer Lecture Series will examine the work of Avery Cardinal Dulles.

Cardinal Dulles is one of the most important theologians alive today. His long career as an author and professor has produced twenty three books and over seven hundred and fifty articles covering a broad range of topics.

Those topics will be organized under two broad heading and treated in two keynote lectures.

Keynote Lectures:
Fr. Aiden Nichols, O.P. will examine Cardinal Dulles’ contribution to the understanding of the Church ad intra.
Fr. Paul McPartlan will explore Dulles’ insights about the Church ad extra.

Last spring I attended these lectures when N. T. Wright, Bishop of Durum spoke. The format was quite good and the event was well planned. I think this would be an interesting exploration of Roman Catholic ecclesiasology.

Here is this the link for more info.

I got that email too, but I think that is the same weekend as the theology lectures at Wheaton, at which Miroslav Volf is speaking on "Rediscovering the Trinity." I think I'm headed down there. Here's the info for those lectures. http://www.wheaton.edu/Theology/
