About the author
Aaron Milavec
22 books9 followersAaron Milavec, Professor Emeritus, served as a seminary and university professor for twenty-five years. In the last five years, he has worked closely with a group of Catholic academics in the UK to start up and run an innovative online program of international gender studies — Catherine of Siena Virtual College. In 2003-2005, he chaired a new program unit of the national Society of Biblical Literature, “The Didache in Context.” His thousand-page commentary, The Didache: Faith, Hope, and Life of the Earliest Christian Communities, 50-70 C.E., received a 2004 Catholic Press Club award recognizing the best books in theology. For further details, see http://www.didache.info/AaMainDownloa...
Milavec earned his S.T.B. from the University of Fribourg in 1968 and a Th.D. from the Graduate Theological Union (Berkeley) in 1973.
Milavec has published twelve eBooks [https://payhip.com/milavec], eight books, five chapters in collected works, and fifty journal articles. His most recent book, Salvation Is from the Jews , is a soul-searching exploration of how Christians need to rethink their theology in order to be faithful to the Jewish heritage received from Jesus two thousand years ago.
Prior to this, Milavec devoted sixteen years to unlocking the hidden life of those mid-first-century Christians who lived the "Way of Life" as described in the Didache. He affectionately nicknamed his thousand-page volume as "the elephant" and his hundred-page volume as "the mouse." The elephant is entitled The Didache: Faith Hope and Life of the Earliest Christian Communities 5070 CE (Paulist Press); the mouse is entitled The Didache: Text Translation Analysis and Commentary (Liturgical Press).
In his youth, Milavec was fascinated with science. After beginning graduate studies in physics, however, Milavec gravitated toward the philosophy of science and ended up with an abiding passion for religious inquiry and spiritual development. While a Research Fellow at the University of Victoria, he completed an essay, "How Acts of Discovery Transform our Tacit Knowing Powers in both Scientific and Religious Inquiry," Zygon 42/2 (2006) 465-486.
For seven years, 2007-2014, he was engaged with others in creating Catherine of Siena Virtual College--a center promoting international, interactive learning for women in community online. In his free time, he gravitates towards the arts: painting with water colors, glass blowing, throwing pots.
Following his retirement, he has produced a half-dozen autobiographical novels. His latest is The Red String Chronicles: Volume #1: True Love Found Online. For a free copy, go to https://payhip.com/b/3H1p
