James Martin (Jesuit writer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Martin is the associate editor of the Jesuit magazine America.[1]
He is known for his critical reporting on Opus Dei.[2]
Martin graduated from the Wharton School of Business in 1982 and worked in corporate finance at General Electric for 6 years. Becoming dissatisfied with the corporate world, he became more deeply involved in the Catholic Church and made the decision to become a Jesuit in 1988. In addition to his work at America Magazine, Martin has done many humanitarian activities in the United States and around the world, and has written more than 10 books, many of which are largely about his own experiences. In 2006, his book "Becoming Who You Are" which tells the story of his influence by the writings of Catholic spiritual writers Thomas Merton and Henri Nouwen was published. He became a Catholic priest in 1999.
