PETROC WILLEY was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI a Consultor for the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization, and is currently a Consultor to the Dicastery for Evangelization in the Section for Fundamental Questions regarding Evangelization in the World. A Professor of Theology and Catechetics at Franciscan University, Steubenville, in Ohio, he has authored numerous books and scholarly articles on the catechetical ressourcement, including The Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Craft of Catechesis. He studied theology and philosophy in London, Liverpool, Maynooth, and Rome, and before his move to the United States in 2015 taught in England, in Catholic institutions in Oxford and Birmingham. He is married to Katherine and has four children and a growing number of grandchildren.
""Petroc Willey is the consummate authority on evangelization and catechesis. In his new book, Light from Alexandria, he creatively tells the splendid, graced-filled story of how ancient Alexandria became the premier city for evangelization and catechesis. In so doing, Petroc himself becomes an Alexandrian, a new Clement and Origen."" --THOMAS G. WEINANDY, OFM, Cap., former member of the Vatican's International Theological Commission ""An erudite and engaging study of the Christian School of Alexandria in the early Christian centuries, which does justice both to the city and culture of Alexandria and to the use Christian apologists made of earlier philosophical traditions in service of the Incarnate Logos, Jesus."" --STEPHEN R. L. CLARK, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Liverpool; Honorary Research Fellow, Dept. of Theology, University of Bristol ""There is something here for everyone-those interested in history, education, culture, inculturation, and, of course, theology and catechetics. The fruit of this work is a profound sense of how a Christian culture was built and transmitted in Alexandria, and how we might do so again."" --STEPHEN M. HILDEBRAND, Professor of Theology, VPAA, Franciscan University of Steubenville ""Throughout the work Petroc Willey emphasizes the need for a holistic catechumenal approach and sacramental mindset, encouraging us to look again at how the catechetical wisdom found in Alexandria can assist catechists, families, and those in educational institutions to consider an evangelizing catechesis that can offer to others a whole way of life."" --ANNE JAMIESON, Executive Director, Institute for Catholic Education, Ontario, Canada ""Far more than just providing an engaging historical overview of the sources of the classical Christian paideia, the author-himself a renowned paedagogus of pedagogues in our own day-points the way forward for an authentic kerygmatic renewal of catechesis and evangelization."" --FR. DANIEL G. DOZIER, Executive Chairman, God With Us Eastern Catholic Formation, USCCB Region XV ""It is not an over-exaggeration to foresee Willey's work standing among other great texts, such as Newman's Idea of a University. Indeed, this work will be footnoted by every serious effort to re-envision catechesis in both parishes and Catholic schools in years to come."" --SISTER MARY MICHAEL FOX, OP, Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia (Nashville); author of Following God's Pedagogy: Principles for Children's Catechesis
