Breaking Boundaries in Theology

In Conversation with Roger Haight SJ

222 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

American Jesuit Roger Haight (1936–2025) undoubtedly belongs to the circle of Catholic theologians who have set standards across denominational boundaries, particularly in the English-speaking world. Haight’s writings have attracted attention and critical debate. This anthology is the first comprehensive and international examination of central aspects of Haight’s theology in dialogue with theologians in the fields of systematic, spiritual, and comparative theology. “Like the music of Mozart and Beethoven which he loved, Roger Haight’s theology flowed in creative ways while building upon a deep structure. Never without his playlists, earbuds, or tickets to the NY Philharmonic, he radiated curiosity and a centered peace.” – Elizabeth Johnson, Distinguished Professor Emerita of Theology, Fordham University, New York City “Roger Haight’s theology was simply a reflection of who he was: such a keen mind, so good-humored, ready always to advise ‘onward and upward,’ and yes, above all, kind.” – Leo J. O’Donovan, SJ, President Emeritus, Georgetown University, Washington D.C. “As a teacher, theologian, priest, mentor, and friend, Roger Haight was without peer. His openness, generosity, and incisive clarity – paired with a ready and wry sense of humor – were wellsprings of inspiration and joy for those who studied and worked with him. This book is a wonderful testament to the theology of conversation of Roger Haight.” – Lisa Holsberg, Adjunct Professor, Fordham University, New York City
