About John Senior at KU

This is a beautiful tribute to Professor John Senior, whose teaching of the classics at KU 30 years ago did so much to influence the face of the Church in Kansas City. The article is written by Bro. Philip Anderson, now Abbot of Clear Creek Monastery.

Reading for Lent and for our next study circle: Aldana on the Scriptures

For the next Kansas City study circle, we will read Ricardo Aldana's article from the Fall 2010 issue:

Communio 37, no. 3 (Fall 2010). (pdf)

The article poses the question, If Scripture is the Word of God, who is the recipient or "hearer" who can receive this word adequately? Jesus came as fulfillment of the Scriptures and received them perfectly. But if the Scriptures are a loving conversation between the Father and the Son, where does humanity fit in? Aldana gives a fascinating account of how humanity enters into the dialogue of the Scriptures.
