Dr Simon Oliver is Associate Professor in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Nottingham, UK. His research interests centre on issues in philosophical theology, the doctrine of creation, and theology and the history of natural science.Dr Karen Kilby is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of Nottingham, UK.Dr Thomas O'Loughlin is Professor of Historical Theology at the University of Nottingham, UK. His research has focused on the theology of the early medieval period, and on the works of insular writers in particular.

Faithful Reading is a beautiful act of homage to Fergus Kerr, who is one of the great theologian-philosophers of the last half-century. The range of topics treated in it -- epistemology, emotion, literary theory, imagination, the proper construal of Thomas, of Wittgenstein, of Newman, and always, first and last, of theology as something we humans cannot avoid doing -- is vast, as was true of Kerr's work. And the standard is consistently high: the passion of reason is evident in these essays, as it also is, to a high degree of intensity, in Kerr's own work.
