Career
He is the Warren Professor of Catholic Thought at Duke Divinity School. Griffiths has held appointments at the University of Notre Dame, University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Chicago. His recent books include: Problems of Religious Diversity (Oxford: Blackwell, 2001).
Philosophy of Religion: A Reader (co-edited with Charles Taliaferro) (Oxford: Blackwell, 2003).
And, Lying: An Augustinian Theology of Duplicity (Grand Rapids: Brazos Press, 2004). His latest book deals with curiositas and the nature of intellectual appetite.
Its title is: Intellectual Appetite: A Theological Grammar. Griffiths acted as an adviser for the pope during his state visit to the United Kingdom. This effort often involves the creation of entirely new English phrases for Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese, or Japanese phrases, the use of English words in uncharacteristic ways, and heavy reliance on calques.
