Lawrence Feingold converted to Catholicism in 1989 together with his wife, while engaged in realist marble sculpture in Pietrasanta, Italy. He then studied Philosophy and Theology at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome from 1990 to 1999. He earned a doctorate in Dogmatic Theology, summa cum laude, with a dissertation on The Natural Desire to See God According to St. Thomas Aquinas and His Interpreters. His scholarly interests center on the theology and philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas and the Thomistic tradition, the relationship between nature and grace, Christian anthropology, Christology, fundamental theology, and the relationship between Christian faith and culture. From 1995-96 he studied Biblical Hebrew and Greek in Jerusalem at the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum.

After completing his studies in Rome, Dr. Feingold moved to Argentina with his family, where he taught Philosophy and Theology in the House of Formation of the religious order, Miles Christi, located in Lujan outside of Buenos Aires, from 1999 to 2004. In 2005 he moved to St. Louis, MO, where he directed and taught the philosophical studium of a new religious institute, the Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem. He has spoken in numerous conferences in Detroit, Buenos Aires and St. Louis.
