Christopher Malloy

Christopher Malloy is Professor of Theology and serves as Department Chair and Graduate Theology Director at the University of Dallas, where he has taught since 2001. Based in the Braniff Graduate Building, he maintains regular office hours and approaches theology with the conviction that divine revelation harmonizes perfectly with right reason, emphasizing contemplation and love of truth as theology's ultimate purpose.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Theology with minor in Philosophy from The Catholic University of America
• MA in Theology from The Catholic University of America
• BA in Theology with second major in Philosophy from University of Notre Dame

Dr. Malloy's research centers on systematic theology, particularly Thomas Aquinas and Karl Rahner, exploring Anthropology, Ecclesiology, the Triune God, and Catholic Integralism. His scholarship consistently engages Catholic doctrine through Thomistic frameworks while addressing contemporary theological challenges. His recent publications reveal sustained focus on Trinitarian theology, ecclesial identity, and justification debates, often critiquing modern theological trends through classical Thomistic lenses.

His extensive publication record includes three major books and numerous articles analyzing Rahner's theology, ecumenical dialogues, and Aquinas' treatment of love and charity. These works demonstrate methodological rigor in examining theological anthropology and ecclesiology through Catholic tradition.

Dr. Malloy teaches diverse courses spanning undergraduate Bible studies to advanced graduate seminars on Aquinas, Trinitarian theology, and Ecclesiology. His community engagement includes frequent presentations at Theology on Tap events covering eschatology, Mariology, and Reformation theology, demonstrating active commitment to public theological education.
