Abstract

How have Christians — and especially Benedictines — understood the relationships between faith & reason, unity & diversity, and
knowledge & wisdom? Join us for a conversation around the central features of the "Catholic Intellectual Tradition" and how they can
take shape in a distinctively Benedictine environment.

Shawn Colberg is Dean of Saint John's School of Theology and Seminary with expertise in Medieval and Reformation theology. He works at the intersections of historical, systematic, and ecumenical theology.
