Paul Crowley, SJ Ph.D.

Chair, Religious Studies Department

Fr. Crowley, is an associate professor in the Department of Religious Studies (since 1989). He has also taught courses at St. Patrick's Seminary, St. Mary's College, and Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

His courses are offered in two main areas: 1. fundamental, philosophical, and systematic theology (principally in hermeneutics, Christology, and ecclesiology), and 2. theological interpretations of themes of Christian existence, primarily suffering and sexuality. His theological methods are principally inspired by the work of Karl Rahner.

Fr. Crowley's ongoing research interests lie in the intersection between systematic theology and modern thought. He has published in Theological Studies, Heythrop, America and Commonweal, among others.
