John Haught

John Haught, PhD is Distinguished Research Professor at Georgetown University, where he taught in the Department of Theology from 1970 to 2005 and served as chair from 1990 to 1995. His field is systematic theology, with a particular interest in the questions that arise where science, cosmology, evolution, ecology, and religion meet. He is the author of 24 books, among them God After Einstein: What’s Really Going on in the Universe? (Yale University Press, 2022), The Cosmic Vision of Teilhard de Chardin (Orbis, 2021), and The New Cosmic Story: Inside Our Awakening Universe (Yale University Press, 2017). His writing emphasizes hope, depth, and the unfinished character of the universe, offering a vision that resists both reductionist materialism and anti-scientific retreat. Haught lectures internationally and has received the Owen Garrigan Award in Science and Religion, the Sophia Award for Theological Excellence, and an honorary doctorate from Louvain University in Belgium.
