Patrick Greenwood ('73, Law and Accounting)

My senior year, while trying to find just the right course to complete my Theology requirement, I happened upon Theology 250. I knew nothing of C.S. Lewis. In the 40-plus years since I explored Lewis with the guidance of Fr. Robert J. Nogosek, I feel that experience has had a profound effect on my thinking and relationships with God and others. I have gifted copies of A Grief Observed to my grieving friends, but perhaps my favorite eye-opener was and is The Screwtape Letters. Of course these are but two small examples of the rich body of Lewis' writings which are, in turn, but a microcosm of theological studies at Notre Dame. There's something for everyone here! I'm very grateful I had this opportunity.
