Dr. Eric S. Gregory joined the faculty of the department of religion at Princeton University in 2001. His teaching and research interests include religious and philosophical ethics, historical and modern theology, political theory and the role of religion in public life. A graduate of Harvard College, he completed his graduate studies in theology as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University in England and received his doctorate in religious studies from Yale University. His dissertation analyzed the ambiguous relation between Augustinianism and liberalism in terms of the virtues that should characterize the moral citizen.

Dr. Gregory’s article, "Augustine and Arendt on Love: New Dimensions for Religion and Liberalism Debates" appeared in the 2001 Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics.  He is the author of a forthcoming book, Politics and the Order of Love: An Augustinian Ethic of Democratic Citizenship (University of Chicago Press).  His current project examines secular and religious perspectives on global justice in light of the interpretation history of the parable of the Good Samaritan.

In 2004-2005, he was a visiting fellow at the Erasmus Institute at the University of Notre Dame. For 2007-2008, he was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities faculty research award and will also be a faculty fellow at Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics.
