About the author

My name is Terence Sherlock, and I write about Christian scripture and tradition for contemporary Catholic readers.

A former seminarian, I studied philosophy, theology, scripture, liturgy and church history, as well as Greek and Latin. I did undergraduate work at Niagara University in New York in language and writing, and graduate studies at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, with a concentration in Old English language and writings.

I’ve been involved with faith formation since high school. Most recently I served as an RCIA director and catechist for twenty years, engaging with people of other faith traditions about God, salvation history, scripture, church, sacraments, liturgy, prayer, and the Christian mission. These weekly reflections on the Sunday Lectionary readings continue my teaching ministry.

I continue to study theology and scripture through courses at the Harvard Divinity School and Boston College School of Theology and Ministry, where I am completing a certificate in Sacred Scripture. My particular interests include the study of Scripture texts in their linguistic, cultural, and historical settings, and early Christian doctrine and liturgy development.

In my business career, I worked for national and multinational companies as a writer, business analyst, and strategist, and have published several books on technical topics. I am the founding technologist at ConText, a research and writing company.
