Day 1 & 2 Conference for Priests: St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology

215 priests from 85 dioceses and 4 countries. Pretty good turn out.

Lots of familiar faces and old acquaintences. It’s great to be here an catch up.

 

John Bergsma is giving us the structure of the Book of Psalms and the trajectory of the five books of Psalms.

Dr. Owens burned about 4000 calories in his presentation on how Augustine reads psalms.  Over all a bit remedial for me after the Augustinianum, but still informative and engaging.

The danger zone.

The other zone… they work in tandem.

Receptions in the evening after Scott Hahn’s presentations.  I brought a chess set and some of the guys are engaging.  Fun.

    God bless you all! We love our priests.

    Looks like a great time. Lovely to see a space for Priest. Looks like Fr. Charron and possibly Fr. Ashley in attendance. I am sure the presentations were edifying.

    Hopefully they’ve got some of the smaller personal size of the study Bible Scott Hahn edited on the RSV-CE II version a couple years back.

    Fr. Zed,

    I see you have excellent taste in pens!

    The Pilot G-2 is my personal favorite to write with. .05 and black are what I use.

    So true!

    Unfortunately, I buy faster than I read! Lol

    “The Danger Zone”

    …as in the slippery slope to “If you’re hesitant about whether you should bring home 1 or 2 books from the book sale – don’t be! Those 4 or 5 books you rescue will be the most important 9 or 10 books you add to your library this month!!!”

    THAT danger zone?
