His research focuses on the relationship between faith and culture, and how that conversation shapes catechesis, theological education and ministerial activity in culturally diverse contexts. He has authored and edited more than a dozen books on ministry and catechesis. Theresa A. O’Keefe, PhD is Associate Professor at Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. Dr. O’Keefe’s research, writing, and teaching focus on youth and young adult faith.
