Profile
I'm interested in the intersection of faith and politics in Medieval Europe, and how political philosophers and theologians sought to reconcile the tensions of heavenly and earthly citizenship. As a Dominican Friar, I have a particular interest in the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas, especially as a reader and interpreter of classical and patristic political thought. I've written on friendship and the common good, and also explore these themes in literature and liturgy.
