Dr. Castelo began his scholarly career exploring the topic of divine attribution. He proceeded to consider questions surrounding a Christian account of theodicy, the doctrine of God broadly, and the theological interpretation of Scripture. He is currently interested in developing and connecting themes within pan-Methodism, Latine theology, and pneumatology to broader conversations in the fields of Christian spirituality, doctrinal theology, and constructive theology. He has authored or edited over a dozen books.

He is a past winner of the John Templeton Award for Theological Promise and has held roles in the American Academy of Religion and the Wesleyan Theological Society. In further service to the Methodist scholarly guild, Dr. Castelo is the founding editor of the book series Wesleyan and Methodist Explorations and an associate editor of the peer-reviewed Methodist Review.
