About the speaker:

Jacob W. Wood is Associate Professor of Theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville, and holds a doctorate from Catholic University of America. Wood's work focuses on theological anthropology in medieval, early modern, and contemporary theology, and he is particularly interested in how the retrieval of the sources of modern theology can help provide answers to questions about the relationships between the natural and the supernatural, sin and grace, and the human and the divine. He is the author most recently of To Stir a Restless Heart: Thomas Aquinas and Henri de Lubac on Nature, Grace, and the Desire for God (Washington DC: The Catholic University of America Press, 2019), as well as Speaking the Love of God: An Introduction to the Sacraments (Steubenville, OH: Emmaus Road, 2016).
