Joseph C. Mudd

Joseph C. Mudd serves as Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Director of Catholic Studies at Gonzaga University, a Jesuit institution in Spokane, Washington. His dual roles integrate academic leadership with specialized theological education within the Catholic tradition.

His research spans interconnected domains of theological inquiry:

• Systemic Theology
• Sacramental Theology
• Liturgical Theology
• Christian Spirituality
• Religious Thought
• Philosophy of Religion

This framework drives his investigation into sacramental meaning, particularly the Eucharist, through critical philosophical lenses and historical theological discourse.

Analysis of Mudd's 2014 publications reveals concentrated scholarship in sacramental theology, examining Eucharistic meaning through critical metaphysics and facilitating theological dialogue between Bernard Lonergan and Bruce Morrill. His work consistently bridges liturgical practice with contemporary theological theory while engaging Catholic intellectual traditions.
