interestsMy primary academic interest is philosophical theology in service to the church. Philosophical theology--at least as I do it--is a kind of combination of systematic theology, historical theology, and biblical theology, bringing the tools and perspectives of philosophy to bear upon issues of faith, particularly in terms of meta-issues of how our assumptions (in terms of ontology, epistemology, and so on) affect and shape theology and where they fit in the unfolding history of theological thought. Moreover, I see this interest as one that is best nurtured in the context of a liturgical piety rooted in the word and sacraments, in conversation with the wider traditions of the Christian church of all ages. Other interests include postmodernism, moral theology/philosophy, and epistemology. For more detailed information on teaching and publications, consult my complete curriculum vitae.
