Father Jerome Neyrey, a native of New Orleans, entered the Jesuits in 1957. He received academic degrees of a B.A. at St. Louis University, two Masters of Theology at Regis College in Toronto, and a Ph.D. at Yale University. He taught for 14 years at the Weston Jesuit School of Theology and 15 years at the Notre Dame University in South Bend, IN, from which he retired May 2007. As professors must, he taught for 36 years at all levels: undergraduate – masters – doctoral students. He published books and especially articles which are available full text at http://www.nd.edu/~jneyrey1. He is a recent president of the Catholic Biblical Association. As a “retired” Jesuit he took up a new ministry, that of preaching retreats at Our Lady of the Oaks, Grand Coteau LA. Most importantly, he is an avid bird watcher, a stamp collector, and a glutton for fiction, good and bad.
