I am a Dominican priest of the Province of St. Joseph and I serve as an assistant professor of dogmatic theology and historical theology at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC (USA).   

My research focuses on a range of issues in the History of Christianity area, especially medieval and early modern theology.  My first book, The Cleansing of the Heart: The Sacraments as Instrumental Causes in the Thomistic Tradition appeared in the Thomistic Ressourcement series at the Catholic University of America Press in 2017.  This book examines Aquinas' approach to the efficacy of the sacraments, taking into account relevant textual developments and the implications of Aquinas' account of grace and sanctification in the context of broader developments in medieval theology.  

My most recent monograph, Aquinas’s Summa Theologiae and Eucharistic Sacrifice in the Early Modern Period appeared in the Changing Paradigms in Historical and Systematic Theology series at Oxford University Press in 2023.  This volume begins with Aquinas' theology of Eucharistic sacrifice in its original textual context, and then proceeds to examine a series of later Dominican and Jesuit receptions of Aquinas' text.
