Father Jerome Murphy-O’Connor
Dominican Father Jerome Murphy-O’Connor, acknowledged as one of the world’s foremost scholars of the New Testament, particularly the writings of St. Paul, died in the early hours of Nov. 11 in Jerusalem – a city where he had spent more than 45 years of his life. He was 78.
He wrote a highly acclaimed guide to the Holy Land, which was published in 1980 and translated into numerous languages. He never lost the sense that the Scriptures should be accessible to all, and he reveled in contributing articles to newspapers and magazines.
