Profile
A native of Rivière-du-Loup (Québec, Canada), André Brouillette joined the Society of Jesus in Montreal, and earned graduate degrees in philosophy, history, and theology in Europe and North America. He taught philosophy and Church history for two years in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and has been a visiting scholar at the Universidad Pontificia Comillas in Madrid, Spain. An expert on St. Teresa of Avila, he specializes in 16th and 17th century spiritual theology and history, as well as the systematic theological issues of pneumatology and soteriology. His first book, Le lieu du salut: Une pneumatologie d’incarnation chez Thérèse d’Ávila, has been published in the prestigious series Cogitatio fidei by the Editions du Cerf, in Paris. He is currently working on a monograph on the theology of pilgrimage. In addition to his scholarly work, Fr. Brouillette runs the magazine Jésuites canadiens, offers spiritual direction, and accompanies the Communauté catholique francophone of Boston.
