An Evening with Fr. John Dear

Spirit and Light: Catholic Collaborative for Living Faith
presents

Peacemaker, author and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Fr. John Dear, will talk with us about his new book, his life's work: The Gospel of Peace: A Commentary on Matthew, Mark, and Luke from the Perspective of Nonviolence. It is the first ever commentary on the Synoptic Gospels from the perspective of active nonviolence in the tradition of Gandhi and Dr. King. In this original work, Fr. John walks us through every line of the three synoptic Gospels pointing out Jesus' practice and teachings on nonviolence, peace, and universal love and invites us to follow him.
