Having lived with the Dominican Order between 1981 and 1995, James now works as an itinerant preacher, lecturer and retreat giver. He is currently a Fellow of Imitatio [http://www.imitatio.org/]. He accompanies a wide variety of public, through academic lectures, undergraduate, postgraduate and professors’ seminars, adult catechesis courses, retreats for priests, parish groups, and Catholic and ecumenical gay and lesbian retreats.
His books [https://jamesalison.com/en/books/] have been translated into Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
James’ most recent work (2013) is Jesus the Forgiving Victim [https://jamesalison.com/en/books/jesus-the-forgiving-victim/], a programme of induction into the Christian Faith for adults, available in DVD, text or digital formats, and which follows on from the insight into desire associated with René Girard. The text has been fully translated into French and Welsh. In addition, a Spanish translation is in progress.
When not on the road, James lives in Madrid, Spain.
