Fr. Matthew is a new addition to the theology department at St. Vincent (joined in 2025). He has covered the Old and New Testaments in his teaching and research, but his specialization is in the Old Testament. His dissertation studied how biblical authors used God's intimate association with cultic furniture to express their overarching interests and messages. He hopes to continue to interpret the Bible through an appreciation of how biblical texts have changed over time, eventually to become the texts that we have in front of us today.
