Hello, I'm Father Gregory Pine, a Dominican friar of the province of St. Joseph,

0:14.0

delighted to join you for this most recent installment of off-campus conversations, where we follow

0:19.2

up with the Temistic Institute speaker who will have given

0:22.0

a lecture either on campus or in the setting of a retreat or a conference. So that way we can

0:27.8

chase down some of the insights, maybe deepen them, at the very least open up new vistas,

0:33.1

new opportunities for contemplating the divine truth and its application in all sorts of cool

0:37.7

circumstances. So for this episode of off-campus conversations, very delighted to be joined by

0:42.1

Father Andrew Hofer. Thanks so much for joining. Thank you, Father Gregory. All right. So many of the

The Tomist. Okay, wonderful. So this would be a little behind-the-scenes moment for you, listeners and viewers. Father Andrew and I are currently somewhere between, I don't know, 75 and 125 feet apart on different floors of our same priorities. With the wonders of modern technology, it often works better to record in your own isolatable space.

1:45.2

So cheers to you, editor of this track. It is for you that we have isolated ourselves.

1:51.2

But we're following up on a lecture that you gave at West Virginia University, which treated the themes of the incarnation and the love, which is present in or which motivates the incarnation.

2:02.1

So I thought we could just follow up with some of the insights that you described in the course

2:06.3

of that talk.

2:07.7

One of the first was you describe a kind of analogy of love.

2:11.1

So you're trying to distinguish between human love and our experience of it and divine love
