Fulton Sheen believed that scientific reason is incomprehensible detached from the rest of revelation and cannot be understood on its own terms.
Sheen had two approaches to teaching the Gospel, the first is the Thomist, analytical approach, and the other is a relational approach.
I work in the areas of race, religion, American political development, and American political thought. He has published academic articles on the use of Nehemiah in nineteenth century American political rhetoric, the Christian political  theology of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the development of American Catholic republicanism, and articles on the political thought of Ven. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. My first book, Religion in the Public Square: Sheen, King, Falwell, was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2019, and I am currently co-authoring book on postliberalism with Thomas Howes for the Acton Institute (to be published in 2025). I am also preparing an edited volume of Sheen's hard-to-find political writing.
