Research Interests:
Richard Miller's scholarly interests are several: the problem of reconciling the Christian doctrine of providence with evil and human suffering; the notion of God as Mystery; the implications of the doctrine of the Trinity for ontology; the thought of Karl Rahner and Thomas Aquinas as resources for contemporary theology; and Catholicism and American public life.
