Dr. Brandon Harvey’s degrees have focused primarily on theology, but also literature and philosophy. He received a doctorate in a Great Books program with a focus on Religion and Philosophy as he concentrated on works by figures such as St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John Henry Newman, Cardinal Henri de Lubac, and Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI). He has experience teaching graduate and undergraduate theology students, undergraduate courses in literature, diaconate candidates, and youth, but also has experience in ministry as a catechist and in liturgy. He presents at several parishes each year, also writing on a range of Catholic topics, and regularly serves as a theological and editorial consultant for catechetical and literary companies. In his local area he runs an Inklings Book Club and at the university he organizes a Communio Circle to discuss theology.
