What is grace? What is it not? In this talk, Professor Keiser will explore the situation of our first parents as God created them, the damages they incurred through sin, and what kind of remedy would be needed to repair those damages. Examining the effects of the Paschal Mystery will help us understand how the gift is greater than the transgression (Romans 5:15-21) and gain an appreciation of the grace we have received in Christ.

KEVIN KEISER teaches theology for Aquinas College and the Permanent Diaconate Formation Program of the Diocese of Nashville and teaches Latin and World History at St. Cecilia Academy. After studying philosophy at St. Michael’s Abbey in southern California, Kevin obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas in Rome. He went on to acquire a Master’s in Thomistic Studies and a Licentiate in Moral Theology at the same university, and is now writing his doctoral dissertation on the natural desire to see God and its implications for the relationship between grace and nature.
