Our faculty members are engaged teacher-scholars with a wide range of interests: the Hebrew prophets, contemporary peace builders, ethics, ecclesiology, Ramanuja and liberation theology. They hold memberships in many scholarly societies such as the American Academy of Religion, the Society for Biblical Literature, the Catholic Theological Society of America, the Society of Christian Ethics and the Catholic Biblical Association. They teach courses which draw on ancient traditions, but also take their students to experience contemporary societies through travel courses and service learning. They teach in the classroom, at Boston-area religious sites and at the Museum of Fine Arts. Their students organize teach-ins on AIDS, celebrate a Passover seder and create and host their own ecumenical council to update Vatican II. They are also actively engaged in the wider community and among them you will find a Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, a public library trustee and an advocate for the elderly.
