BC Founders Professor of Theology James Keenan, S.J., explores the power of the word of God and the word of human being in his new book Ethics of the Word: Voices in the Catholic Church Today. A review in America magazine calls Ethics of the Word “a helpful and instructive book, given the many experiences of loss and suffering, misunderstanding and scandal that characterize much of our everyday lives.”

Fr. Keenan will speak on Nov. 18, at 5:30 p.m. in Higgins 300. His topic will be “The University in the 21st Century: Thinking about Ethics, Persons, and Discourse.” Sponsor: Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life.
