Paul McMahon, the President and Publisher of Paulist Press, is our guest on this special episode of Deacons Pod.

Deacon Mike Hayes and Deacon Drew Dickson (both of whom are Paulist Deacon Affiliates) ask Paul about his unique career path from his native Australia to service as the first lay President and Publisher in the 160-year history of the Catholic publishing company.

During their conversation, Paul speaks about several Paulist Press books, including:

• The Paulist Biblical Commentary

• “Coming to Our Senses: Embodying the Soul” by Gunilla Norris

• “101 Questions & Answers on Deacons: Revised Second Edition” by Deacon Bill Ditewig

• “A Human Portrait of Jesus” by Fr. Vincenzo Anselmo, SJ

• “The Legacies of Sr. Madeleva Wolff, CSC” by Jessica Coblentz and Susan Mancino

Deacon Mike also asks Paul what he learned from his predecessors at Paulist Press: Paulist Fr. Kevin Lynch (1925 – 2022), Paulist Fr. Larry Boadt (1942 – 2010), and Paulist Fr. Mark-David Janus, who now serves as Publisher Emeritus.
