Fr. Guy Mansini, O.S.B. speaks on Surnaturel for the 2010 John Paul II Lecture
The Theology Department is pleased to announce that Fr. Guy Mansini, O.S.B., renowned author and Professor of Systematic Theology at Saint Meinrad School of Theology, gave the 2010 Pope John Paul II Theology Lecture on Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 7:30 in Lynch Auditorium. Fr. Mansini has written widely and has been described as having “a remarkable ability to penetrate to the core of the theological questions. His essays are more than learned, careful, and clear; they manifest the virtue of theological wisdom.” Among his more recent works are Promising and the Good, in which he looks at Christian life promises, including but not exclusively, marriage and the religious life; and The Word Has Dwelt Among Us, a collection of essays on Christ and His work and on His presence in the Church. The title of his John Paul II Lecture is “On the Enduring Importance of De Lubac’s Surnaturel: The Dispute on Nature and Grace.” Previous John Paul II Lectures have been given by Francis Cardinal Arinze, Dr. Russell Hittinger, and Dr. Michael Waldstein. A copy of the lecture can be found here.

UD Theology Department Consecration
Theology is "faith seeking understanding." It is a faithful listening to and a systematic, methodical articulation of the message of the Word of God. This word was first revealed to Israel and then in the person of Jesus Christ, himself both the mediator and sum total of Revelation, the word of God. This "dei verbum" is transmitted in the living tradition of the Church.
Admittedly, our Western civilization cannot be properly understood without some knowledge of Christianity, which is both a basis and an integral part of our cultural heritage. The study of theology, however, is much more than an essential discipline in the liberal arts education; it has a higher and more comprehensive aim. In relating man and the world to their absolute origin and end, theology imparts an ultimate unity to our understanding of reality and helps us-as no purely human discipline can-to see and fulfill the meaning of our existence.
