| biography:
| Anglo-Catholic theologian and writer. He read mathematics at Cambridge, and was ordained priest in 1932. After a few years in parish work he became sub-warden of Lincoln Theological College, where he remained for eight years. He then taught philosophy of religion at Oxford (1946–62), and became professor of historical theology at King's College, London (1962–73, then emeritus). His books He Who Is (1943) and Existence and Analogy (1949) have acquired the character of textbooks on natural theology. Later works include Christian Theology and Natural Science (Oxford Bampton Lectures, 1956) on the relations of theology and science, the ecumenical The Recovery of Unity (1958), and The Triune God (1986). |
