    Director, Senior Fellow

    I am a member of the Dominican Religious Order. I specialize in Systematic Theology with a special emphasis on faith and science dialogue. I’ve collaborated with the Discovery Institute, the En Arche Foundation in Warsaw and The Society for Christian Culture in Krakow. Currently I hold a teaching position at Collegium Intermarium. I have authored several books, including Catholicism and Evolution (2015), Aquinas and Evolution (2017) and Knowledge and Evolution (2021). I value Thomistic philosophy and JP II’s theological anthropology. I am interested in science and engineering.

    Senior Fellow

    I am a lay Catholic theologian with a special interest in dogmatic theology. I have served as a Director of the John Paul II Institute of Divine Mercy based in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. I explore new ways of thinking about the harmony possible between science, scripture, philosophy and theology with regard to universal and human origins. I am an editor of a volume More Than Myth?  (The Chartwell Press, 2014) – a collaborative volume of essays by scholars who find Progressive Creation and Intelligent Design theories the most fruitful way forward in unfolding the great mystery of origins.
