Fr. Thomas D. Stegman, S.J. (1963–2023), was a Jesuit priest and one of America’s leading New Testament scholars. A native of Nebraska, he served for many years at Boston College’s School of Theology and Ministry, including six years as its dean, and was beloved as a teacher, preacher, and mentor. His scholarship focused especially on St. Paul — his commentary on Second Corinthians in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series is widely used — and he wrote and lectured extensively on the Word of God until his death in 2023 after a courageous battle with brain cancer.
