Edward A. Malloy Chair of Catholic Studies, Professor of Theological Studies, Vanderbilt University

Dr. Bruce Morrill focuses his theological scholarship in the area of liturgy and sacraments, drawing upon a range of interdisciplinary resources in the fields of systematic and historical theology, ritual studies, cultural anthropology, and biblical studies. His other primary and strongly related interest is in political theologies, as they investigate the problems of suffering in social contexts. In addition to eight books, his publications number more than one hundred journal articles, book chapters, and reviews. His current research and writing projects include an exposition of the concept of “political holiness” and an attempt at a mystagogical theology of the Easter Season. A Jesuit priest, he provides pastoral-liturgical ministry in local parishes and the men’s maximum security prison in Nashville.
