About

After studying in Québec, Montréal, Ottawa and Toronto, I taught at the Dominican University College (DUC) Institut de pastorale for seven years. In 1984, I earned a doctorate at Cambridge University, and then spent twenty years teaching theology and philosophy at Boston College. I am now professor of systematic theology at DUC.

I am interested in spirituality and mysticism, the matter of God, the revelation, the person of Jesus Christ, inculturation of the Christian faith and interreligious dialogue.
