Mark Spinnenweber is a first-year Ph.D. student in Comparative Theology. He is interested in the phenomenology of revelation, nature and grace, and the relationship between religious experience, history, and the development of doctrine.

Mark envisions Comparative Theology as a means by which to study the questions of fundamental theology and dogmatics by bringing them into dialogue with world religion. His prior theological studies focused on Islam, Christian-Muslim relations, and Eastern Christianity.

Before coming to BC, Mark bounced around the Midwest as a high school teacher, M.T.S. student at the University of Notre Dame, adjunct professor, and federal bureaucrat.
