Michael Paul Gallagher is an Irish Jesuit priest, who entered religious life at the age of 22, having studied literature at universities in Dublin and Caen (France). Later he went on to further studies in literature at Oxford and Johns Hopkins Universities, as well as a doctorate in theology at Queen’s University, Belfast. From 1972 to 1990 he lectured in modern English literature at University College, Dublin. He moved to Rome in 1990 to work in the Vatican, first in the Pontifical Council for Dialogue with Non-Believers and then in the Pontifical Council for Culture. Having finished his service there in 1995, he became professor of fundamental theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome, where from 2005 to 2008 he was dean of the theology faculty. He has a special interest in the frontier areas of theology, seeking to relate faith to secular culture, to art, to imagination and literature. In recent years he has given graduate courses on Newman, Lonergan and Charles Taylor. In September 2009 he will become Rector of the Collegio Bellarmino in Rome, a large Jesuit community for post-graduate students.
He is the author of some ten books of spiritual and fundamental theology, including The human poetry of faith (New York, 2003), Clashing Symbols: an introduction to faith and culture (2nd edition, London and New York, 2003), and The Disturbing Freshness of Christ (Veritas booklet, Dublin 2008).
