He has translated several works, including (with Dr. Joseph G. Trabbic) Thomas Aquinas: A Historical and Philosophical Profile (The Catholic University of America Press, 2016) by Pasquale Porro. His articles and book chapters have appeared in many prestigious publications such as Nova et Vetera, Gregorianum, Louvain Studies, The Thomist, Harvard Theological Review, Angelicum, Antiphon: A Journal of Liturgical Renewal, and the Oxford Handbook of the Reception of Aquinas. Dr. Nutt is the editor-in-chief of Sapientia Press, and is co-editor of numerous volumes, including: Thomas Aquinas as Spiritual Teacher (Sapientia Press of Ave Maria University, 2023); Hope and Death: Christian Responses (Emmaus Academic, 2022); Thomas Aquinas and the Crisis of Christology (Sapientia Press of Ave Maria University, 2021); Aquinas the Biblical Theologian (Emmaus Academic, 2021); Thomas Aquinas and the Greek Fathers (Sapientia Press of Ave Maria University, 2019); and Thomism and Predestination: Principles and Disputations (Sapientia Press of Ave Maria University, 2016).
