Mark F. JohnsonMark Johnson (Ph.D., University of Toronto [Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies] [1990]), [Systematics/Ethics], specializes in contemporary Roman Catholic moral theology, from the perspective of a historically-based study of St. Thomas Aquinas. He is the author of over twenty-five articles (e.g., Theological Studies, Medieval Philosophy and Theology, Recherches de théologie ancienne et médiévale, The Thomist). Recent articles include: "An Accomplishment of the Moral Part of Aquinas's Summa theologiae," in James R. Ginther and Carl N. Still eds., Essays in Medieval Theology and Philosophy in Memory of Walter H. Principe: Fortresses and Launching Pads (Aldershot: Ashgate Publishers, 2004), pp. 85-104; "Aquinas's Summa theologiae as Pedagogy," in Medieval Education, eds. R.B. Begly and J.W. Koterski, SJ (New York: Fordham University Press, 2005), pp. 133-142, and “La «Summa de poenitentia» attribuita a Paolo Ungaro,” Divus Thomas 109/2 (2006): 136-145. The year 2007 saw the publication of his “Introduction” to St. Thomas Aquinas and the Mendicant Controversies: Three Translations, trans. John Proctor, OP (Leesburg, VA: Alethes Press, 2007), and “Augustine and Aquinas on Original Sin: Doctrine, Authority, and Pedagogy,” in Aquinas the Augustinian, eds. Michael Dauphinais, Barry David, Matthew Levering (Washington, DC: Catholic University of America Press, 2007), pp 145-158.

At present he is writing a monograph, Nature, Grace, Sin, and Glory: The Moral Universe of Thomas Aquinas, which will examine Thomas's moral teaching in its full historical and theological context. He is also working on a critical edition of the early Dominican, Paul of Hungary's Summa de penitentia and on other medieval pastoral texts.
