Lecture by Fr. Francis X. Clooney, S.J., of Harvard University, given on December 8 , 2024, at the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society, Boston, MA

Today we discuss the autobiography that traces Francis X. Clooney's intellectual and spiritual journey from middle-class American Catholicism to a lifelong study of Hinduism. It explains how he came to fashion comparative theology as a way of learning interreligiously that is boldly intellectual and deeply personal and practical, lived out in intersections of his roles as theologian and scholar of Hinduism, as professor and Catholic priest, and over the tumultuous decades from the 1960s until now, in his role as a Professor of Divinity, Harvard University. Clooney sheds fresh and realistic light on the idea and ideal of scholar-practitioner, since his wide learning, Christian and Hindu, is grounded in his Catholic and Jesuit commitments, as well as in a commensurate learning with respect to several Hindu traditions that are most accessible to scholars willing to learn empathetically and in a participatory manner. What Clooney has learned and written must be understood in terms of a love of Christ deeply informed by a Hindu instinct for loving God without reserve. A fundamental spiritual disposition - intuitions of God present everywhere - has energized his work over his long career, love giving direction and body to his professional academic work.

Send us a textIn this conversation, Parkman Professor of Divinity, Françis X. Clooney, Harvard University, discusses the contrasting narratives of Christmas as depicted in the Gospels of Luke and Matthew. He highlights how Luke presents a story of hope and joy, focusing on the humble birth of Jesus and the angelic announcement to shepherds. In contrast, Matthew's account introduces themes of violence and fear, detailing King Herod's massacre of infants and the family's flight to Egypt. Clooney emphasizes the significance of these differing perspectives, suggesting that they reflect the complexities of the world into which Jesus was born. Clooney shares insights on the role of theologians in understanding the incarnation and the importance of recognizing the troubled world into which Jesus was born. The conversation culminates in a hopeful message for the Christmas season, urging listeners to find common ground and build bridges in a divided world.===Francis X. Clooney, S.J. is the Parkman Professor of Divinity and Professor of Comparative Theology at Harvard University and a fellow of the British Academy. A worldreknown scholar and considered founder of modern comparative theology. Hompage: https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/franc...Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis...===Make Your Life a Masterpiece!

We live in an era of unprecedented growth in knowledge. Never before has there been so great an availability of and access to information in both print and online.  Yet as opportunities to educate ourselves have greatly increased, our time for reading has significantly diminished. And when we do read, we rarely have the patience to read in the slow, sustained fashion that great books require if we are to be truly transformed by them.  In Reading the Hindu and Christian Classics: Why and How Deep Learning Still Matters (University of Virginia Press, 2019), renowned Harvard Divinity School professor Francis Clooney argues that our increasing inability to read in a concerted manner is particularly notable in the realm of religion, where the proliferation of information detracts from the learning of practices that require slow and patient reading. Although awareness of the world's many religions is at an all-time high, deep knowledge of the various traditions has suffered. Clooney challenges this trend by considering six classic Hindu and Christian texts dealing with ritual and law, catechesis and doctrine, and devotion and religious participation, showing how, in distinctive ways, such texts instruct, teach truth, and draw willing readers to participate in the realities they are learning. Through readings of these seminal scriptural and theological texts, he reveals the rewards of a more spiritually transformative mode of reading--and how individuals and communities can achieve it.
