Bio: John A. Dick, now retired from the University of Leuven (Louvain), is a former staff member at the Catholic University of Leuven's European Center for Ethics as well as the former head of LIBISMA, a private research and documentation center linked with the University of Leuven and the Gregorian University. He still teaches one course on "the American way of religion" in the inter-university (University of Antwerp, University of Leuven) master's program in American studies; and he is visiting professor of historical theology at St. Michael's College in Vermont. Professor Dick's academic background includes a licentiate in the history of theology at the University of Nijmegen, under Edward Schillebeeckx, on episcopal residency after the Council of Trent, and a doctorate in the history of theology at Louvain on the Malines Conversations (Anglican/Roman Catholic dialogue before WWII). His areas of specialization are about religion and values in American society, religion in North America, and the American Catholic Church. For a number of years he was managing editor of both Louvain Studies as well as Ethical Perspectives. Jack, as he prefers to be called, has five books and numerous articles to his credit, and lectures extensively in North America and Europe. Email: jadlouvain@gmail.com |
