Synopsis

Although Kevin wrote Person in Christ last century and much has happened in the intervening years, I believe his ‘stumbling on the mystery of relationship’ is still a key to understanding how ‘The life of an unnoticed and misunderstood Galilean Jew was and is God’s revelation, God’s final Gift of Self.’

Person in Christ is the third in a series revealing a new understanding of ‘Person’. Kevin had already published Person in Cosmos and Person in Analysis but left his manuscript, Person in Christ, unpublished.

As Dr Tony Kelly reflected: ‘Had Kevin chosen to write more and publish his findings in book form, there is no doubt that he would be one of the world leaders in theology of this era”.

About this title

About the Author

His brilliance as a teacher and lecturer is well grounded in a classical training in the ways of theology. In a brilliant course of studies at the Angelicum in Rome, “this a brilliant young Australian” caught the eye of many distinguished Dominican professors such as Pere Gagnebet, OP. Though Kevin was to go on and break new ground in his research into the philosophy of science current scripture studies psychology and French phenomenology, he remained firmly anchored in the great tradition of the philosophical and theological wisdom characteristic of St Thomas Aquinas and his eminent expositors.

As a young man in the years following his return from overseas, Kevin contributed to any number of international theological journals and published his thesis on a profound aspect of the Incarnation. Subsequently, he did not write a great number of books– possibly because his mind was so endlessly restless and creative and he had little patience with footnotes and lists of authorities and the demands of writing. He was, however, endlessly productive in his research and his willingness to share it, and enjoy the new resources of the computer and the Internet. More and more, his chosen medium was the lecture in which he would give a perfectly timed exposition on a designated topic. The lucidity of his treatment was especially impressive to his hearers, just as he would finish at the exact moment when the allotted time came to an end.
