He received his doctorate from The University of Chicago in 1982. Dr. Corrigan has authored and coauthored a dozen books, including The Hidden Balance (Cambridge University Press, 1987); The Prism of Piety (Oxford University Press, 1991); Religion in America (coauthor, Prentice Hall, 1992, 1998; 2003); Jews, Christians, Muslims (coauthor, Prentice Hall, 1998); Business of the Heart (University of California Press, 2002); The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Emotion (Oxford University Press, 2008) and Religious Intolerance in America: A Documentary History (University of North Carolina Press, forthcoming, 2009).

Dr. Corrigan is currently finishing a book entitled Religious Intolerance in America: A History of Hatred and Forgetting, in which he argues that “Americans have willfully screened from national memory the long, sad history of religious intolerance in their own country and, as a result, have found it difficult to understand religious conflicts elsewhere.”
