Jordan Miller, Ph.D.

Core Fellow
Core Curriculum

As a convert to the Catholic Faith in his late teens, Professor Miller's adult life has been centered on fundamental questions about God. He considers his work as a teacher to be that of helping students to think through these questions, to feel the weight of them, to see that these questions are for every person, not only for some. Miller's doctoral work was on the doctrine of Trinity, and its primary abiding interest within the field of systematic theology is Trinity and theological anthropology, specifically whether and in what manner human love reflects and reveals the love that God is. 

Miller is also interested in the relationship between Christianity and science, and seeks to incorporate this into courses wherever possible and appropriate. Both his thought and interests have been profoundly shaped by teaching as he continually looking at the various ways in which the increasingly rapid secularization of a shared world culture shapes the task that students are faced with, ultimately everyone is faced with: how to think about God, and about the meaning and purpose of the human being, in a time when one is frequently encouraged to regard these topics as irrelevant, perhaps dangerous.
