John Froula

John Froula serves as Associate Professor of Dogmatic Theology and Director of the Master of Arts in Pastoral Leadership at The Saint Paul Seminary, University of St. Thomas. He holds a Ph.D. from Ave Maria University (2012), an S.T.B. (summa cum laude) from Pontifical University of St. Teresa in Rome (2006), and a B.A. from Thomas Aquinas College (1999).

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D., Ave Maria University, 2012
• S.T.B., Pontifical University of St. Teresa (summa cum laude), Rome, 2006
• B.A., Thomas Aquinas College, 1999

Dr. Froula's research centers on Christology, Eucharistic Theology, Thomistic philosophy, and grace dynamics. His work rigorously applies St. Thomas Aquinas's framework to contemporary theological questions, particularly examining Christ's humanity, sacramental theology, and spiritual formation through rigorous philosophical analysis.

His scholarly output demonstrates a consistent focus on Thomistic engagement with medieval and modern theological challenges, evidenced by his 2014 Thomist article analyzing 'esse secundarium' in Christology and multiple conference presentations exploring Aquinas's Christology, natural determinism, and mystical experience.

As Director of the Master of Arts in Pastoral Leadership program, Dr. Froula oversees academic formation for pastoral ministry. No information regarding research grants, student advising, or laboratory affiliations appears in the source materials.
