Our program continues with special
recognition of two outstanding biblical scholars. Murphy-O’Connor and Fitzmyer are among
the most eminent biblical scholars in the world. They are known for
their numerous books, articles, and presentations; for lives dedicated
to uncovering the meaning of biblical texts; for teaching that has
inspired countless others; and, above all, for their ability to bring
the breadth of knowledge — biblical, ancient, and contemporary — to the
study of Paul’s letters. Frs. Murphy-O’Connor and Fitzmyer truly embody the
Augustinian ideal of striving for knowledge that seeks the truth (veritas)
and unites (unitas) in love of God and others (caritas). With honorary
doctorates, Villanova University recognizes their foundational role in
shaping Catholic biblical scholarship.
The year long program continues
with a series of lectures designed to explore Paul the Apostle, the
relevance of his legacy and the importance of biblical scholarship in
our contemporary world
