Joseph A. Buijs is a professor emeritus of St. Joseph's College at the University of Alberta. He has taught philosophy for more than thirty years and continues to be an active parishioner of St. Thomas More Parish in Edmonton. His interest in the intersection between religion and philosophy arose early in his life and remained throughout his academic career. Both in his teaching and in his research, he explored issues dealing with the apparent conflict between faith and reason and with questions about God, theism, Christianity, and worldviews. He has published articles on these topics in a variety of journals: The New Scholasticism, Judaism, The Review of Metaphysics, Vivarium, Religious Studies and Theology, Studies in Religion/Sciences Religeuses, Medieval Encounters, The Journal of the History Philosophy, Catholic Education, Philosophia Christi, Sophia, and Fidelitas. He lives in Edmonton with his wife, Rosanne. They have four adult sons and three grandchildren.
