Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time - Mk 10:2-16 - Original Love
Dr. Mary Coloe is a Presentation sister and a professor of New Testament at Yarra Theological Union, which is a college within the University of Divinity, Melbourne. Her primary focus in teaching and writing is the Gospel of John. This year her two volume commentary on John in the Wisdom Commentary Series is being published – Volume 1 in July, and Volume 2 in October. This series is a feminist commentary on the biblical books. The commentary will be available through Garratt Publishing and the Pauline Books and Media. She also has three small books of reflections on each Sunday Gospel of the year – These are called, Sundays under the Southern Cross – available through Garratt Publishing.
Mary has taught at Australian Catholic University and a number of places overseas such as Berkeley, California; Boston College, and Jerusalem. In recent years she has worked on an international dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Church/Disciples of Christ. Mary calls this her “Vatican” hat, as this appointment was for the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity.
