Nexus: Conversations on the Catholic Intellectual Tradition

Nexus: Conversations on the Catholic Intellectual Tradition is a digital-age journal that amplifies and publishes scholarly dialogue taking place in the Hank Center. Our most recent issue is a special edition in honor of the 2024 National Eucharistic Congress. This special issue is titled Real Presences: Personal Encounters with the Gift of the Eucharist.

This issue includes a series of brief reflections on personal encounters with the Eucharist. These wide-ranging reflections come from John F. Deane, Sally Read, Philip Metres, William Cavanaugh, Chika Unigwe, Paul Elie, Mary Grace Mangano, Mike Aquilina, James Matthew Wilson, and a formidable "host" of other authors. The added element is that each writer was invited to reference an image, painting, tract, essay, passage, poem, novel, film, etc., that awakened and deepened their understanding of the Sacrament, that enriched eucharistic intimacy, contemplation, and relationship.
