A Boston college symposium in honor of Michael J. Buckley in 2009 drew together many bright young theologians who had been mentored and guided by the great teacher. This collection of essays explores topics discussed in Buckley’s work that his students have taken up and extended in their own scholarship.

Nicholas Lash, Grant Kaplan, Anna Bonta Moreland, Dominic Doyle, Christian Krokus, Joseph Curran, Brian W. Hughes, John Montag, Richard W. Miller, Cara Anthony, Randall S. Rosenberg, and Thomas M. Kelly contribute scholarship that speaks to a multitude of themes including social justice, divine providence, the trinity, religious pluralism, interreligious dialogue, dissent, Vatican II, and much more.

An exciting presentation of some of the best original work in theology today and a tribute to the legacy of a passionate scholar and an intellectually, spiritually, and socially devoted teacher.
