Michael White
Having All Things in Common: Paul & Friendship
The Michael White Public Lecture Series takes place on select Wednesdays with a guest lecture by his friend and fellow scholar John T. Fitzgerald. Dr. John Fitzgerald trained at Yale University and the University of Tubingen. He serves in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Miami. In addition to focusing on the Early Christian Literature, he concentrates his research on the religious and philosophical schools of the ancient Mediterranean world in the period between Alexander the Great (d. 323 BCE) and Constantine (d 337 CE), highlighting the ways in which Jews and Christians interacted with various segments of the Greco-Roman Culture and appropriated the philosophical material for religious use. Author/editor of six books on New Testament Ethics and Philosophy, his most recent work is the reediting of Wayne Meeks’ The Writings of St. Paul (2007). For more information, contact the Rev. .
