Profile
John Morgan is a doctoral candidate at the University of Dayton. His research interests tend to rest on the intersection between Thomism(s) and its reception history, the role of history in theological method, the development of doctrine as viewed both by John Henry Newman and Thomists, the relationship between doctrine and the spiritual/mystical life, with all the above occasionally being tinted through a lens of inter-religious dialogue. John and his spouse are happy parents of two children. They enjoy family time and adventuring around the Dayton area.
