"Robin Ryan is not only a careful and thoughtful scholar. He is a master teacher who makes crystal clear how the Bible and the tradition understand and profess Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ. Perhaps even more important, however, he is a person of faith who will inspire those who encounter him in this series to deeper faith in and commitment to Jesus themselves."
Stephen Bevans, SVD Louis J. Luzbetak, SVD Professor of Mission and Culture
"Whether he is teaching seminarians and ministry students or preaching in parishes, Fr. Robin Ryan's astute insights and pastoral sensibilities are clearly evident. Always with a hint of humor, Fr. Ryan brings his training as a systematic theologian and the charism of his Passionist community into conversations that matter."
Laurie Brink
