Peter Admirand

I am a hopelessly eclectic theologian with an expertise in interreligious dialogue (especially Jewish-Christian dialogue and atheist-theist dialogue); the interplay of religion, literature, and ethics (including in comics studies, pop culture, and science fiction); and examining the problem of evil through both witness testimony and theological texts.

Most recently, I am the editor of 'The Last of Us and Theology: Violence, Ethics, Redemption?' (2024). My other books include:

- 'Destruction, Ethics, and Intergalactic Love: Exploring Y: The Last Man and Saga' (2023).
- 'Seeking Common Ground: A Theist/Atheist Dialogue', co-written with philosopher Andrew Fiala (2021)
- 'Humbling Faith: Brokenness, Doubt, Dialogue—What Unites Atheists, Theists, and Nontheists' (2019; also an audiobook), Loss - 'Loss and Hope: Global, Interreligious, and Interdisciplinary Perspectives (2014)
- 'Amidst Mass Atrocity and the Rubble of Theology: Searching for a viable Theodicy' (2012)

I am currently Deputy Head of School in the School of Theology, Philosophy and Music; Associate Professor of Theology; and the Director of the Centre for Interreligious Dialogue at Dublin City University.

I have a Ph.D. from Trinity College Dublin; a M.A. in Theology (Ethics) from Boston College; a M.A. in British and American Literature from Georgetown University; and a B.A. in English from The Catholic University of America.

Originally from New York, I moved with my family to Ireland in 2024. My wife, five children, and various pets keep me (more or less) sane and grounded.
