James Whitaker, PhD Student

Humor Editor

James Whitaker is a first-year PhD student in theology, studying the history of Christianity. Despite his best efforts, he found that he was too undisciplined to write anything more serious than humor. If you would like a glib but informed answer to a question about Greek ascetics, Latin Scholastics, or Catholic apologetics, you can email him at jwhitak5@nd.edu.
