Professor of theological ethics at Boston College, Stephen J. Pope has argued for the engagement of Christian theology with evolutionary theory. He makes the case in his own writing that our growing knowledge of human evolution is compatible with Christian faith and morality. Dr. Pope is a graduate of Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, and of the University of Chicago, where he earned a master’s degree in divinity and then Ph.D. in ethics and society in 1988. Having begun his teaching career at St. Paul’s Seminary School of Divinity as an instructor in theology, he joined the Boston College faculty as an assistant professor of theology on receiving his doctorate. He was named to his present position in 2006. His work has been supported by the John Templeton Foundation, and he is the recipient of a Templeton Foundation Science and Religion Course Award. A member of the editorial board of the European Journal for the Study of Science and Theology, he is the author of more than fifty papers published in academic journals or as chapters in volumes of collected works. Dr. Pope is the editor of five books, most recently Solidarity and Hope: Jon Sobrino’s Challenge to Christian Theology, which was published last year by Orbis Press. He is also the author of The Evolution of Altruism and the Ordering of Love (1994) and Human Evolution and Christian Ethics (2007). His work in progress includes three forthcoming books: Your Neighbor as Yourself: Relating Charity and Justice in Christian Ethics, Religion, Justice, and Reconciliation: The Struggle for Peace with Justice, an analysis of the work of peace and reconciliation commissions, and Blessed Are the Poor: Suffering and Happiness in Christian Perspective.
