I have been at Worcester for more than ten years and teach papers at all stages of our undergraduate courses in Theology & Religion and Philosophy & Theology. I specialise in modern theology and the history of doctrine, with a particular interest in theology and the arts, particularly poetry, film and music. I am the author of Grace (SCM 2013) and editor, with John Barton, of The New Testament and the Church (Bloomsbury 2015), and I have published articles and chapters on systematic and doctrinal theology, as well as on the Oxford Movement and the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. I am Reviews Editor of the journal New Blackfriars. I am ordained in the Church of England and serve as Associate Archdeacon of Oxford. I am married to Beatrice, who teaches English Literature at Trinity College, and we have two sons. My enthusiasms include wine, poetry, Thomas Aquinas, Jane Austen, Wagner, Wittgenstein and Queens Park Rangers football club.
