Professor Emeritus in the Department of Theology.

Scholar in residence in the Jesuit Community at Creighton.

I’ve been a Jesuit since 1958 and a priest since 1970.

As of the spring semester of 2014, I retired from full-time employment at Creighton University, but still present as Professor Emeritus of Theology and scholar in residence in the local Jesuit community.

My entertainment -- movies, theatre, and eating out. My last out-of-town academic sabbatical was spent at Tantur, an ecumenical research center situated on the south edge of Jerusalem, just next to the Israeli check-point on the road from Jerusalem into Bethlehem. I arrived the day before 9/11/01, and spent the next eight months watching the world from that location. If my reflections get 'a little political' sometimes, that's why.

Fr. Hamm�s most recent book is Philippians, Colossians, Philemon and is available to purchase through the publisher: http://bakerpublishinggroup.com/books/philippians-colossians-philemon/314330 .

Another book, Building Our House on Rock: Jesus� Vision for our Lives, as Told by Matthew and Luke is available on amazon.com here:  http://www.amazon.com/Building-Our-House-Rock-Matthew/dp/1593251815

Writing these reflections is like sharing on the Word at a weekday Eucharist--simply part of what my life is about. I'm glad for the opportunity to listen with and for others.
