Dr Paul Parathazham is currently the Director of St John's National Academy of Health Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from the Loyola University of Chicago, U.S.A, Masters in Sociology from the University of Pune, Licentiate degrees in Philosophy (L.Ph.) and Theology (L.Th.) from the Pontifical Athenaeum of Pune also known as Jnana Deepa, Institute of Philosophy and Theology. For thirty-one long years (1982-2013) he served Jnana Deepa in different capacities. Besides being the Professor of Philosophy, he also served as Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, Head of the Department of Social Sciences, Director of the Postgraduate Program, Director of the Institute of Pastoral Management and Member of the Academic Senate and the Board of Trustees. He was also the Director of Nirmala Centre for Educational, Social and Theological Training (NESTT), Muvattupuzha, Kerala, from 2013 to 2014.

Paul has been a visionary scholar. His research has always been animated by certain dreams he has of what it means to be human. Values like integrity, honesty, transparency are dear to him both in his personal and scholarly life. He has visions for human society with a critical view on the way human society functions today. Being a sociologist, he wants to maintain a congruity between thinking and being. His academic contributions to JDV, to the Church and to the country has been inspirational. There is no better way to honour him through this Festschrift than dreaming along with him. Hence the title of the book Dreaming To Be Human Come True.
