The Faculty of Theology and Religion is delighted to celebrate the installation of Professor Luke Bretherton as Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology and Professor Andrew Davison as Regius Professor of Divinity at Christ Church Cathedral.
Professor Davison, a distinguished scholar in Christian doctrine and the philosophy of religion, was installed as Regius Professor of Divinity in October. His work spans the relationship between theology and the natural sciences, sacramental theology, and metaphysics.
