11/4/25 - Dr. Gerald P. Boersma, Professor of Theology at Ave Maria University and Humboldt Fellow at the University of Tübingen, shares his personal journey of faith, scholarship, and conversion of heart through the wisdom of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. In this conversation, Dr. Boersma reflects on how studying the Church Fathers and the great scholastics deepened his love for Christ and the Catholic Church, transforming theology from an academic pursuit into a lived encounter with Truth Himself. From his work as a Catholic systematic theologian and author of Augustine's Early Theology of Image (Oxford, 2016) to his reflections on faith, reason, and the image of God in man, this testimony reveals how intellectual formation and spiritual devotion can beautifully unite in the pursuit of holiness.  Learn more about Dr. Boersma's work at www.geraldboersma.com
