Bede Professor of Catholic Theology at the University of Durham
The Department of Theology & Religion seeks to appoint a Roman Catholic scholar of international standing who is engaged in the critical-constructive analysis of issues of contemporary significance in Catholic thought and practice, evidenced through extensive publication at the highest academic level. This is a newly established post, permanently endowed by a number of Catholic donors. As a theological advisor to the Bishop of Hexham & Newcastle, the postholder must be in full and active communion with the Roman Catholic Church.
Critical-constructive, but I hope also receptive, analysis of the documents of the Roman Catholic church, than which there is no finer body of theological texts, and none more neglected in the United Kingdom
