[2] He attended St. Edward's Academy on the campus of St. Edward's University, Austin, Texas, from 1943 to 1945, and then moved to Holy Cross Minor Seminary at the University of Notre Dame for his senior year of high school.

[3] Returning to Notre Dame in 1957, over the course of 55 years of teaching, Father Dunne became one of its most popular, even beloved, professors.

His most recent work, Eternal Consciousness, received a first-place award from the Catholic Press Association.

Dunne was a visiting professor at Yale University from 1972 to 1973 before coming back to Notre Dame to teach from 1973 to 2013.

[5] He spent several sabbatical years at the Holy Cross Center, Berkeley, California, throughout his tenure at Notre Dame.

[7] Ward, citing Dunne's The City of The Gods: A Study in Myth and Mortality, continues that Like Altizer, Dunne is aware of the striking analogy between the ancient myths of the death of the god and dialectical idealism in which 'the personal God and his individual incarnation are abolished in a Calvary from which there emerges the autonomous human spirit, the "absolute" spirit' (Dunne: 1965, 19).
