Adolf Holl
Adolf Holl (13 May 1930[1] – 23 January 2020)[2] was an Austrian Catholic writer and theologian. He lived in Vienna, where he was Chaplain of the University of Vienna and a lecturer in its Department of Catholic Theology. Because of conflicts with Church authorities, he was suspended from his teaching and priestly duties.[3] He wrote many books, including Jesus in Bad Company and The Last Christian: A Biography of Francis of Assisi.[3]
Holl had doctorates in philosophy and theology from the University of Vienna. Ordained a Catholic priest in 1954, he served as a parish priest and professor of theology until 1973, when longstanding controversies with church officials led to his dismissal from university and parish posts.
