Summary

Prof. Adam Eitel (Yale Divinity School) holds appointments in the Divinity School, the Program in Medieval Studies, and the Humanities Program. His research and teaching bring topics in the history of Christian theology to bear on questions of fundamental moral concern. A specialist in medieval scholasticism, his particular research interests span doctrinal and moral theology, especially in the works of Thomas Aquinas and his contemporaries. His first book, Thomas Aquinas and the Invention of the Preacher, examines the need for gifts of the Holy Spirit in light of the eliminable conditions of human folly; as this volume approaches the final stages of revision, he is also preparing a translation and critical introduction to Aquinas’s Contra impugnantes. His contributions to various journals include published and forthcoming essays in the Journal of Religious Ethics, Nova et Vetera, Studies in Christian Ethics, and The Thomist. Longer term aspirations include projects on the virtue of charity, the nature of sin, grace, eschatology, grief, and infant mortality.

0:49.8	where you are now in the story of God's people. I've been listening to you. We've been talking
0:58.1	since we arrived yesterday, and I've heard a number of you say independently, we're in each
1:06.5	other's presence. I've heard other people here at the house say, you know, here in Ireland, we aren't
1:15.0	very well formed in the faith. And that might be true in one sense, but I just want to invite
1:24.1	you today to stop saying that. I want to invite you today to stop saying that.

2:06.9	Sometimes the things we say about ourselves put a banner, cast a certain die, lock us in to ways of thinking that can impede the growth by grace that the Holy Spirit is working in us. So I just invite you today to say,
2:15.9	we here today, we're hungry, hungry for more of the Lord.
2:26.0	I'm hoping I can just help with just a little bit of that,
