T. Adam Van Wart

T. Adam Van Wart (PhD, Southern Methodist University) is currently an Associate Professor of Theology at Ave Maria University.

Van Wart works primarily in the fields of systematic/constructive & philosophical/fundamental theology. His most current academic research explores how theology might transfigure and deploy philosophical quietism for the sake of dissolving recurrent confusions regarding the relationship between first & second order intentionality with respect to the Church’s speech & knowledge of God. His research interests also include Christology, the development of doctrine, “mystery” as a theological category, theological appropriations of analytic philosophy, ecumenism, & late medieval scholastic theology. He has published articles on these and related themes in The New Ressourcement, Modern Theology, Pro Ecclesia, and Nova et Vetera.

In 2022, Van Wart became the Academy of Catholic Theology's very first recipient of the Fr. Joseph Koterski, S.J. Research Fellowship for Philosophy in Theology.

He is also, by God’s inestimable grace, a native Texan.
