As a moral theologian, my research areas include medical ethics, sexual ethics, and general ethics. When writing on ethical questions, I am particularly concerned with anthropological questions. I am also interested in the study of the Fathers of the Church and, in particular, the Syriac Fathers. I have also written extensively in the area of early monasticism, especially the Rule of Saint Benedict.
