El compañero de La Biblia en un año, volumen II

Fray Sergio Serrano, O.P., is a Dominican friar of the Province of St. Martín de Porres, which serves the Church across the southern United States. He professed his religious vows as a Dominican in 2003 and was ordained a priest in Dallas, Texas, in 2007. Today he serves as director of the Hispanic Apostolate for the Archdiocese of New Orleans, administrator of St. Francis Xavier parish, and director of the Center of Jesus the Lord in New Orleans.

Fr. Serrano has ministered widely, from parish work at St. Dominic in New Orleans to pastoring the historic church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and he is a doctoral candidate in pastoral ministry at Barry University in Miami. For Ascension, he hosts La Biblia en un Año, the Spanish-language companion to The Bible in a Year, reading the whole of Scripture across 365 daily episodes using Jeff Cavins’ Great Adventure Bible Timeline and offering reflections that help listeners encounter God’s Word.

Fr. Dempsey Rosales Acosta is a Catholic priest, biblical scholar, and educator dedicated to helping others encounter Christ through Sacred Scripture. He serves as Executive Director of the Institute of Pastoral Studies at Loyola University Chicago, where he brings years of experience in higher education, pastoral formation, and theological leadership.

Before joining Loyola, Fr. Dempsey served as a professor of theology and Director of the Center Semillero for Hispanic/Latino Theology at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, and later as the university's Interim President. A respected biblical scholar, he has authored numerous books and scholarly articles, served as a consultant for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on biblical translation, and contributed to theological education through graduate programs in both English and Spanish. He holds advanced degrees in philosophy, theology, biblical studies, and Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome.
