Introduction
Mark McInroy is a constructive and historical theologian with interests in modern Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox thought, especially the modern retrievals and reformulations of patristic, medieval, and Reformation theologies.
A component of his current research focuses on the theological legacy of Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988), particularly as it pertains to the field of theological aesthetics. Other areas of interest include contemporary philosophy of religion, continental philosophy, mystical theology, philosophies and theologies of perception, and East-West relations in Christianity.
In 2015 he received the Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise (formerly the John Templeton Award for Theological Promise), an internationally assessed award administered through the University of Heidelberg, Germany. He is presently completing a monograph on modern retrievals of the Christian doctrine of deification and the role of the doctrine in Martin Luther's mature theology.
