Gabriel J. Catanus, PhD
Scholar & Teacher
In December 2020, I received my Ph.D with Distinction in the Integrative Studies in Ethics and Theology (ISET) from Loyola University Chicago. My research and writing have focused on developing Filipino American contextual theology, Christian social ethics, pastoral and political theologies, and the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Before my Ph.D program, I graduated from DePaul University (B.A.), the divinity school of Trinity International University (M.Div, cum laude), did some Th.M work at McCormick Theological Seminary, and had a short stint at an unnamed Chicago law school.
Part of my vocation also includes speaking at conferences and guest lecturing in academic and ecclesial settings. To date, my work has been used in courses at Fuller Theological Seminary, the University of California at Irvine, Yale Divinity School, Wheaton College, and Loyola University Chicago.

In January 2021, after teaching Christian theology and ethics at Loyola University Chicago and Northern Seminary, I served through 2021 as Associate Director of both the Paul G. Hiebert Center for World Christianity and Global Theology and the Thriving Immigrant Congregations Initiative (TICI) at Trinity International University. TICI is a 5-year research project supported by the Lilly Endowment. I've also just joined the editorial board for ChristianityNext.
----------
During Summer 2021, I had the honor of co-leading a seminar at Fuller Seminary on Filipino American Context and Ministry with Dr. Daniel Lee (pictured below). We had great students joining us from throughout the U.S., the Philippines, and Hong Kong.
----------
In February 2022, I was honored to be appointed an Affiliate Assistant Professor of Theology and Ethics at Fuller, where I'm teaching Christian ethics and serving as founding Director of the Filipino American Ministry Initiative (FAMI). During Fall 2022, I am also teaching Christian ethics as a Visiting Lecturer at Asian Theological Seminary in Quezon City, Philippines.
