James Carroll to Give Commencement Address
Author of "Christ Actually" and "Constantine's Sword" to speak in May
 James Carroll, an author whose works include "Christ Actually" and "Constantine's Sword", will be the principal speaker at CDSP's commencement on Friday, May 22.
Carroll, who has written eleven novels and eight works of non-fiction, is a distinguished scholar in residence at Suffolk University and a columnist for The Boston Globe. He has won the National Book Award for "An American Requiem" and the Pen Galbraith Award for "House of War."
"All of my work has been preoccupied with trying to reconcile the relationship between the Christian religion and ... grotesque outbreaks of violence, especially anti-Semitism," says Carroll, who has been a Shorenstein Fellow at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and a Fellow at the Center for the Study of Values in Public Life at the Harvard Divinity School.
