This lecture was given by Fr. Andrew Hofer, OP (Visiting Fellow at Oxford University and Professor of the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception) at University College Dublin on 26 September 2019.
Fr. Andrew Hofer, O.P., grew up as the youngest of ten children on a farm in Kansas, and studied history, philosophy, and classics at Benedictine College. He then went to St Andrews, Scotland for a Master of Letters in medieval history. He entered the Order of Preachers as a son of the Province of St. Joseph, and was ordained a priest in 2002. After finishing his S.T.L. and serving as an associate pastor for a brief time, he was sent to Kenya as a missionary for two years. He taught at the Tangaza College of The Catholic University of Eastern Africa and other institutions in Nairobi. He returned to the U.S. and completed the Ph.D. in theology at the University of Notre Dame, with the primary area of history of Christianity (specializing in patristic theology with additional studies in medieval theology) and the secondary area of systematic theology.

0:00.0 | I'd like for us to begin with a reading from 1 Corinthians chapter 12, the first six verses, |
0:05.7 | and then I'll lead us in a prayer. |
