Salvatore A. Tassone, S.J.Senior LecturerFr. Tassone was born in Ishpeming, Michigan. He earned his B.A. in Philosophy from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington in 1956. At age 28, he arrived at nearby Alma College to begin his theology course on the path to ordination, and was awakened to the jarring fact that the Gospel accounts were not like documentaries of Jesus' life, but were rather interpretive portrayals by the evangelists. Even more jarring were the interpretations of scholars like Rudolph Bultmann, who so "demythologized" the New Testament portraits of Jesus that the historical Jesus was reduced to a mere prophet. Convinced that there was more continuity between the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith, Fr. Tassone completed his S.T.L. in 1963 and went on to study the New Testament and historical-critical methods, earning an S.T.M. from Santa Clara University in 1964 and an S.T.D. from the Gregorian University in Rome four years later.
