What are the ways in which we can speak of a distinctive Jesuit “style” of doing theology in a globalized, late-modern intellectual context, when the Jesuit vision & mission are inextricably tied to its birth in early modern Europe?

CWCIT visiting scholar Michael Kirwan, SJ (Heythrop College, University of London) addresses this question with insights from various theological settings in Europe, Asia, and North & South America. 


Speaker Bio
From Leeds, England, Michael Kirwan is a Jesuit priest who serves as both director of the Heythrop Institute on Religion & Society (HIRS) and, since 1998, as a lecturer in theology at Heythrop College, University of London, which is where he completed his PhD in theology. His areas of interest include political theology; the relationship between theology & literature; and the connections between religion, culture, and violence, especially in light of René Girard's mimetic theory. His publications include Discovering Girard (2004), Political Theology: A New Introduction (2008), and Girard & Theology (2009).
