Luigi Gioia is interviewed by Church Times

VHI's Research Associate and Development Officer Luigi Gioia was recently interviewed by Terence Handley MacMath on Church Times.

Luigi joined the monastery in Italy when he was 18, and then spent 19 years in France, during which time he completed his doctorate in Oxford, became an abbot in Rome, and Professor of Systematic Theology at the Pontifical University of Sant’ Anselmo, Rome. Now in Cambridge full-time, he works especially on Augustine and French phenomenology, and writes on prayer and spiritual life. He is the author of Say it to God, the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book for 2018 (Bloomsbury).
