Expertise

I have a wide knowledge of the Old and New Testaments, a working knowledge of biblical Greek, and a fundamental understanding of 1st century Aramaic. I can answer questions regarding the nature of salvation and the God-head, the relation of Christ to his Church, the nature of the Sacraments, etc. I do specialize in Catholic and Orthodox issues (why they believe in apostolic succession, or the Real Presence in the Eucharist, etc) and in giving biblical (and historical) perspective on such topics. I have a good working knowledge of the Pre- and Ante-Nicean fathers too.

Experience in the area

I am the Director of RCIA, which is for people studying to become Catholic; I've done this for 2 years, and have over 5 years experience in this field. I am the official Catechist of Benedictine College. I am also a pastoral assistant at Benedictine College.

Education/Credentials

BA, Philosophy BA, History
