Theology

Andrew Blosser (Ph.D., Loyola University Chicago) was formerly a minister for the homeless in Chicago. His current research focuses on the intersection of ecology and religion in the thought of Thorstein Veblen as well as applications of Veblenian theory to current ethical issues, especially degrowth theory.  He currently serves on the Marquette Academic Senate as a representative for the College of Art and Sciences.   He is the author of The Ethics of Doing Nothing: Rest, Rituals, and the Modern World (Orbis, 2023) and is currently working on a book on the relationship between theology and conspicuous consumption.
