With the Society of Jesus and the Boston College community, we mourn the passing of Daniel J. Harrington, S.J. who, at the age of 73, lost his battle with cancer on February 7, 2014. In 1972, Fr. Harrington joined the faculty of Weston Jesuit School of Theology (currently Boston College School of Theology and Ministry) and became editor of New Testament Abstracts, a role he held until his death.In November 2013, Dan announced that 2013-14 was to be his final year of teaching. James Martin, S.J. offered a tribute to Dan, posted in America.
May Dan rest in peace and rise in glory with the saints at the coming of our Lord.
Note from BJ: Fr. Harrington was my teacher and friend. Much of what you hear in class comes from my studies with Dan. His books are treasures for the ages.
