Eugene Kennedy

History & Biography

“This book is a concise and compellingly tribute to a man whose contributions changed understandings about what it means to be a Catholic priest, a counselor, and a human being. Eugene Kennedy will appeal to a wide audience as it captures the multifaceted and vibrant life of a scholar of the mind and spirit whose writings and interests transcended academic disciplines, political labels, and faith traditions. As a former student of Kennedy, I was riveted by Van Ornum’s rich and incisive compendium of our mentor’s paradigm-shifting work.”
