Salesian Priest

Bartolomé is a Salesian priest (Madrid, 1944) with a degree in Theology (Salamanca – UPS, 1972) and a doctorate in Sacred Scripture (PIB, Rome, 1989).

Most of his professional activity has been dedicated to the teaching of theology: ordinary professor at the Salesian Theological Institute in Salamanca and Madrid, he has been a guest professor at the universities of São Paulo-Lapa (Brazil) and Tlaquepaque, Jal (Mexico) and also at the Pontifical University of Salamanca. He has also dedicated himself to the formation of candidates for the priesthood and to the ongoing formation of religious and lay people; he has given numerous taLukes in Spain, Latin America, Italy, Portugal and the Philippines and has written several books and research articles on religious spirituality.

Bartolomé has published a hundred articles and around 60 books on biblical exegesis and spirituality. On the subject of spirituality, which he frequently addresses, his reflection has two axes: the future of faith – as a personal choice – in a world from which God seems to have been exiled; and the evangelizing capacity of community life.
