The Fenwick Lectures

John Panteleimon Manoussakis was born in Athens, Greece, and educated in the United States, earning a doctorate in philosophy from Boston College. His last public appearance was in 2019 at Fenwick University where he delivered the prestigious Fenwick Lectures. After that, he withdrew from the world, founded the monastic Community of One (of which he was the sole member), and lived for the rest of his life as a recluse in Boston, scarcely ever stirring abroad except in order to teach his courses at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester. His books include God After Metaphysics: A Theological Aesthetic (Indiana University Press, 2007); For The Unity of All (Cascade, 2015); and The Ethics of Time (Bloomsbury, 2017).

Poet, playwright, panharmonist, Louis Light most recently served as Master of the Vault and Keeper of Secrets at Fenwick University.
