Dr. Malloy received his Ph.D. in Theology from The Catholic University of America. He has taught at the University of Dallas since 2001. He approaches the theological vocation with the conviction that God’s gift of revelation is perfectly harmonious with right reason. In the face of apparent difficulties, faithful exploration yields fruitful insight into the Deposit of Catholic Faith. He sees contemplation and love of the truth as the ultimate purpose of theology. He researches the thought of Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor, especially as it is relevant to contemporary issues in Anthropology, Trinity, and Ecclesiology.
