This past weekend I participated in the 47th Annual International Patristics, Medieval, and Renaissance Studies Conference at Villanova University. I presented a paper on the christologies of the Summa halensis and Albert the Great, on a panel exploring the shared intellectual culture of Franciscan and Dominican theologians working at the University of Paris in the 1240s. Pictured here are Kevin Hughes (Villanova University) and Luke Togni (Franciscan Institute, St. Bonaventure University), the organizers of the panel; Sam Baudinette (University of Chicago Divinity School), John Kern (Pepperdine University) and myself, the panelists; and Boyd Taylor Coolman (Boston College), the panel’s moderator.
