Faculty

Wendy Farley, Professor (1988). Professor Farley received her Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University in 1988. Her teaching interests include religious dialogue, classical texts, and contemporary ethical issues. Her first book, Tragic Vision and Divine Compassion: A Contemporary Theodicy (Westminster John Knox, 1990) reflects an attempt to synthesize these disciplines. A second work, Eros for the Other: Retaining Truth in a Pluralistic World (Penn State: 1996), also takes up the relationships between ethical and philosophical issues in religion. In 2005, she published The Wounding and Healing of Desire: Weaving Heaven and Earth (Westminster John Knox), which combines attention to contemplative practices, folk traditions, and inter-religious dialogue to reflect on suffering and transformation.
