Christian Humanism in a Franciscan Voice
The Franciscan School of Theology hosts a variety of lectures from world-class theologians across the globe in this unique series.
Sr. Mary Beth Ingham explores the topic of Christian Humanism – looking at all of creation through the lens of love – from the perspective of the Franciscan Tradition. Sr. Mary Beth describes the vision of Francis, the teachings of John Duns Scotus on Franciscan Christocentrism, the focus on Jesus Christ in his human nature, the source of our freedom, and the human vocation to love and friendship. In short, “It’s all about love.”
