Kirk Wegter-McNelly

Assistant Professor of Theology

Kirk Wegter-McNelly’s research and teaching interests focus on the promise and peril of reformulating Christian doctrine in light of constructive interplay with contemporary scientific ideas and perspectives. He is currently working on a theological assessment of physical relationality that engages recent scientific advances and philosophical reflection on the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. Dr. Wegter-McNelly has co-edited two publications: Quantum Mechanics: Scientific Perspectives on Divine Action (Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences/Vatican Observatory, 2001) and Science and the Spiritual Quest: New Essays by Leading Scientists (Routledge, 2002).
