William Cavanaugh

I have been a big fan of the Roman Catholic theologian William T Cavanaugh since I became aware of his work during his visit to Melbourne last year - I was privileged to be part of a small group that discussed with him his work on torture and found him particularly thoughtful and gracious. I have been dipping in and out of his book Torture and Eucharist all year... as a model of historical reflection informed by theology (or perhaps the other way round) I find it an exciting and challenging read.
The Roman Catholic blog GodSpy has an excellent interview with him where he discusses his ideas about the church, the eucharist and politics... as well as other interesting stuff. Check it out.

HT to DW Congden.
