Sam Keyes

Fr. Sam Keyes serves as Professor of Theology at John Paul the Great Catholic University, where he actively teaches and conducts research within the theological discipline. His academic profile is deeply intertwined with his personal spiritual journey, having transitioned from a Baptist upbringing to Anglicanism before embracing Roman Catholicism.

His research interests center on comparative Christian theology, with specialized focus on conversion narratives and denominational theology across Baptist, Anglican, and Roman Catholic traditions. This unique trajectory informs his scholarly approach to understanding religious identity formation and ecumenical dialogue within contemporary Christian contexts.

As a faculty member preparing for Catholic priesthood ordination, his work bridges academic theology with practical pastoral formation, contributing to theological education through both classroom instruction and personal witness to interdenominational spiritual development.
