Our Spring 2025 Cardinal Newman Lecture will presented by Dr. Brant Pitre, titled "Jesus, the Master and Model of Prayer." The college men's groups have been using his book "Introduction to the Spiritual Life" for their group study this year.
Dr. Brant Pitre is Distinguished Research Professor of Scripture at the Augustine Institute, Graduate School of Theology. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame, where he specialized in the study of Christianity and Judaism in Antiquity. He is the author of several best-selling books, including Introduction to the Spiritual Life (Image, 2021), Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary (Image, 2018), The Case for Jesus (Image, 2015), and Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist (Image, 2011). He is also author of Jesus and Divine Christology (Eerdmans, 2024), Jesus and the Last Supper (Eerdmans, 2015), co-author of A Catholic Introduction to the Bible: The Old Testament (Ignatius, 2018), and co-author of Paul, a New Covenant Jew (Eerdmans, 2019). Dr. Pitre has also produced dozens of video and audio Bible studies, in which he explores the biblical roots of the Catholic faith (available at BrantPitre.com). He currently lives in Louisiana with his wife Elizabeth and their five children.
The Cardinal Newman Lecture Series is a tradition at Our Lady of Wisdom that dates back to the 1950s. The lecture series is one way the Catholic Student Center at Our Lady of Wisdom offers ongoing intellectual formation in the Catholic tradition on our secular campus.
