The question of whether the classical Aristotelian-Thomistic school of thought may correspond with the evolutionary worldview continues to inspire research and (sometimes heated) debates.

Read MoreThe topic of catechesis, or baptismal instruction, remains a relatively understudied area of research outside a few highly specialized subdisciplines in early Christian studies. It’s primarily of interest to scholars in practical theology, liturgics, and social history. Increasingly, however, the organization of the catechumenate, beginning at least in the second century and going up to […]

Read MoreContemporary research into the biblical writings has been shaped by a number of influences and interpretive methods over the past century. But one of the most significant developments has been the birth of archaeological research and its impact on how we read the Bible. Indeed, what separates our scholarship from those who came before is […]
Read MoreInquirers about God eventually confront an issue about evidence for God: Is there any salient evidence available to them for God’s reality and goodness? If so, where is it to be found, and how is it to be found? Such questions deserve our careful attention, because their answers have significant consequences for human lives, individually […]
