Marilyn McCord Adams joined our faculty in July 2009.  Her interests are in philosophy of religion, medieval and early modern philosophy and metaphysics.  Her ‘medieval’ books include William Ockham (2 volumes) and Some Later Medieval Theories of the Eucharist: Thomas Aquinas, Giles of Rome, Duns Scotus, and William Ockham (one focus of which is the metaphysics of body).  She continues to explore medieval theories of causality and to investigate how medieval engagement of doctrines of revealed theology provoked philosophical insights and renovations.    Another current project examines medieval Aristotelian theories of how the intellectual soul relates to the animal nature of human beings.  In philosophy of religion, she has written two books on the problem of evil--Horrendous Evils and the Goodness of God and Christ and Horrors: the Coherence of Christology--as well as numerous articles.
