Matthew Powell, an Assistant Professor of Theology, is an historical theologian who specializes in the modern era and its affects on the nature and process of religious identity. Dr. Powell frequently views this “modern crisis of religious identity” through the figure of Franz Kafka whose life and work has come to symbolize the growing sense of isolation and alienation of those living outside a religious tradition.

His current interests include bridging traditional Catholic thought and teaching with an emergent postmodern concern for the role of otherness in the process of self-understanding. Dr. Powell received his training from the University of Notre Dame, New York University, John Carroll University, and Marquette University.
