Kevin Madigan, Professor of the History of Christianity, is a historian of medieval Christian religious practice and thought. He began teaching at HDS in 2000. He specializes in high-medieval scholastic biblical exegesis and theology. His book Olivi and the Interpretation of Matthew in the High Middle Ages (University of Notre Dame Press) was published in 2003, and his latest book, The Passions of Jesus in the High Middle Ages: An Essay on the Development of Christological Doctrine, was brought out by Oxford University Press in 2007. Professor Madigan is currently working on a book, with Jon Levenson of HDS, tentatively entitled Resurrection: The Jewish-Christian Connection, which will be published by Yale University Press. A 2006-07 winner of a Luce Theological Fellowship, Madigan recently began a project on the exegetical and theological history of the biblical figure "Doubting Thomas."
