Dr. Darren Iammarino joined the faculty at the University of San Diego in 2022. He
specializes in comparative religious studies, interreligious dialogue, and process
theology. He earned his doctorate in philosophy of religion from Claremont
Graduate University in 2010. Darren’s current book project, Not Moses, Not Jesus,
Not Muhammad, but Jethro, John the Baptist and Waraqa Nawfal, highlights the lives
