The Rev. Dr. Jordan Hillebert was born and raised in the States, completed a PhD in Scotland (University of St. Andrews), and is Director of Formation and Tutor of Theology at St. Padarn’s Institute (Cardiff, Wales), where he oversees the training and formation of candidates for ministry in the Church in Wales. He lectures and supervises postgraduate students in theology and ethics at Cardiff University, and his research interests lie broadly in the areas of systematic theology and modern Christian thought. He is the editor and a contributing author to the T&T Clark Companion to Henri de Lubac, and his next book, Henri de Lubac and the Drama of Human Existence, is forthcoming with University of Notre Dame Press.
Jordan lives in Cardiff with his wife, Krisi, his daughter, Keira, and their ill-behaved beagle. He is acclimating well to British pubs but still mourns the loss of Southern cuisine.
