Anna Abram is Senior Lecturer in Christian Ethics at Heythrop College, UK.Peter Gallagher SJ is Head of Philosophy at Heythrop College, UK.Michael Kirwan is Lecturer in Systematic and Pastoral Theology at Heythrop College, UK.

The Jesuit Constitutions, after dealing with spiritual formation, insist that "it will be necessary to provide for the edifice of learning, and of skill in employing it, so as to help make God our Creator and Lord better known and served." This is the vision inspiring the worldwise network of Jesuit schools and universities. Heythrop College, a distinguished example, has produced a remarkable collection of essays to honour this Jesuit tradition. The authors, philosophers and theologians, enter into dialogue with concerns as varied as education, science, nature, Islam, bioethics and secularism. Any enquiring mind will find much to relish in this volume.
