Comment:

Himes assigns a lot of reading, but he's wonderful so it's worth it. Just a word of caution - he does not respond well to email. So, if you need anything from him, be sure to ask in person.

Comment:

Keepin' it real! It is rare to find someone who speaks as well as he does: passionate, insightful, and daring both in the classroom and on the pulpit. Had him as an undergrad at ND in the 90's. Wonderful to see that he's still got it.

I had Fr. Himes for class when he taught at Notre Dame. Great theologian and teacher. If you can't take his class, go to a mass he is celebrating.

Comment:

The best two professors I had at BC were Fr. Himes for Theology and Fr. Flanagan for Philosophy - and there are barely any priests still teaching. Himes is brilliant. I'm not Catholic and I still went to Wednesday Mass at St. Mary's to hear his sermons.
