Biography

Fr. Reiser has been teaching theology at the College since 1978. Each semester he offers the course Understanding Jesus, which introduces students to a close reading of Mark’s Gospel (the course led to his writing Jesus in Solidarity with His People: A Theologian Looks at Mark). He has also made many trips to Bolivia, both to teach mini-courses on Scripture and Catholic social doctrine, and to study Andean culture and theology. In alternate years, in the fall, he offers Teología Andina, which includes a week of study in La Paz. A very different course—Defense Against the Dark Arts—is about hope and imagination. The class is designed for avid readers of JK Rowling.​
