I consider myself a Christian and practicing catholic (with a lower case “c” meaning the church ecumenical), deeply rooted in my faith while embracing insights from science (particularly evolutionary biology) and philosophy (particularly process philosophy and Thomism). My understanding of God is enriched by the concept of “process” within an evolutionary context, but this does not define my theology. Influenced by thinkers like C. S. Peirce and A. N. Whitehead, I see their ideas as tools rather than doctrines, with my own views aligning closer to process theology than Thomism, but without rigid adherence to any single framework.
I possess a B.S. in Biology from Georgia Southwestern St. University (2000); a Master of Divinity in Biblical Studies from Asbury Theological Seminary (2005); an MA in Church History and Doctrine from Regent University (2012); an MA in Systematic Philosophy from Holy Apostles College & Seminary (2017); an MA in Religious Studies from Claremont School of Theology (2020); and a PhD in Comparative Theology from Claremont School of Theology (2022). I have pursued a multidisciplinary path to deepen my understanding of various fields of inquiry. Bradford McCall is the author or editor of 13 books. I am grateful for these opportunities to contribute to scholarship widely defined. Notably, my education displays a circuitous route toward ecumenicity.
