"Fulfilling the Catholic university's vocation to serve the Church, we pass on the riches of Catholic intellectual life to a global church through research, while lifting up the pressing pastoral needs of Church life to scholars across the globe."
—@TimothyPOMalley, Associate Director for Research, McGrath Institute
The scholarly work of our faculty and staff is foundational to the mission of the McGrath Institute, informing and enriching our service to the global Church.
In celebration of that work, we’re excited to share a new MICL Faculty & Staff Publications webpage, gathering books authored and translated by our Institute’s faculty and staff in one place.
Explore the breadth of our scholarship and discover resources that build up the life of the Church — in service to the world.
A preview is available below; see first comment for a direct link.

Together with its scientific incoherence, a more serious problem with dopamine fasting lies in its underlying philosophical anthropology

Hear from a past participant:
We welcome your school's application to the 14th annual Science & Religion Initiative Foundations Seminar!
Animated by St. John Paul II's principle that "science can purify religion from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes," these seminars help teachers and administrators bring faith and science into dialogue.
Upon completion of the seminar reading program and week-long event, participants receive a $900 stipend AND a professional development certificate from the University of Notre Dame.
When asked to describe the impact of SRI, past participant Deacon Tim Kettenring said:
"Apart from my formal academic studies, no program has contributed more to my growth as a Catholic educator than the Science & Religion Initiative of the McGrath Institute at the University of Notre Dame. Whether examining the harmony of faith and reason or confronting profound questions surrounding suffering and evil through the lens of Auschwitz, SRI has expanded my intellectual horizons, enriched my understanding, and fostered a desire for continued study and reflection. Its influence continues to shape both my teaching and my vocation, for which I am sincerely thankful."

This program is made possible through the generous support of the John Templeton Foundation.
The McGrath Institute's Science & Religion Initiative equips educators to be competent and effective communicators of the complementarity of faith and reason, science and religion.
From Faith & Science Foundations (now enrolling!) to Capstone Seminars (like the one shown in this video), our team of scholars and scientists attends to areas where dialogue between religion and science can be fruitful — and where integration is possible.

My new book has a cover and is now available for pre-order on Liturgical Press' website. Pre-order information in comments (good news, it's available near Valentine's Day).

Love of the Church is love of the poor, and it is, ironically perhaps, the purest and deepest form of love of the poor.

If you’ve ever heard me talk about my journey to the Catholic Church, you’ve probably heard me mention that fateful freshman Cosmology class at the University of Notre Dame — the one that made me reconsider taking Christianity seriously.
That is why it’s a special sort of blessing to spotlight the impact my colleagues and friends Chris Baglow and Heather Foucault-Camm are making through the McGrath Institute for Church Life’s Science & Religion Initiative.
Friends, this is vital, life-giving work. It’s pre-evangelization at its
finest.
Know educators who would benefit? Please send them our way.
Now enrolling for 2027.
