Mr. Paul Lachance teaches in the Department of Theology at Saint Anselm College, Manchester, NH. He wrote my dissertation on Boethius, a sixth century Christian author and has authored articles on Boethius and on Christology. He teaches courses on Christology, Trinity, Liberation & Political Theology, and Christianity and Literature. The paper he will present at the SCBtVS is developed from a classroom lesson plan on the problem of divine providence and free will in Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy.
