Doctoral Candidate

Theology

Biography

Jordan Parro is a doctoral candidate in History of Christianity with a minor in Systematic Theology. Jordan’s research interests include Late Antique theologies (especially the works of Maximus the Confessor), Neoplatonism, theological anthropology, contemplative, ascetic, and mystical traditions, as well as issues pertaining modern philosophies of religion, metaphysics, hermeneutics, and embodiment. His dissertation “Maximus the Confessor: Symbolic Theology and the Dialectic of Sexual Difference” is a study of the Confessor’s hermeneutic approach to materiality. It explores Maximus's underlying theology of the material-as-symbol and sheds new light on the Confessor’s labyrinthine and, at times, seemingly ambiguous treatment sexual difference.
