Biography
Professor Austin Foley Holmes joined LMU after completing a Ph.D. in the History of Christianity at Boston College. His primary area of research and scholarship is Early Christianity: Greek and Latin Patristics.
Professor Foley Holmes is completing a monograph on contemplation (θεωρία) and action (πρᾶξις) in the theology of Origen of Alexandria. He is also translating two fourth-century commentaries on the Psalms by Ambrose of Milan: the Expositio Psalmi CXVIII and the Explanatio Psalmorum XII. Alongside these two larger projects, he continues research and writing on other topics in the History of Christianity — especially Christology, Monasticism, and Mysticism.
His teaching at LMU has included undergraduate and graduate courses such as "The Contemplative Life," "Monasticism," "Foundations of Historical Theology," and "Last Things: Eschatology."
