Radical Orthodoxy

A Colloquium

13-15 November 2007

Ten years ago, conversations among theologians in and around the University of Cambridge culminated in the publication of a celebrated collection of essays, which ushered in what the journal Theology has described as "the most heavyweight theological movement twentieth-century Christianity in England has produced." The movement, which its proponents prefer to describe rather as a "sensibility", gave its name to the volume Radical Orthodoxy: A New Theology, published by Routledge Press, and the series which has produced, under that title, some of the most imaginative, provocative, and invigorating theology in recent years.

Two of the original contributors to the first volume in the series, along with others who represent the sensibility in its current orientations, will present their recent work, thus displaying the dimensions of radical orthodoxy at the present and its prospects for the future.

John F Montag SJ is Associate Editor of the Institute of Jesuit Sources at St. Louis University. His doctoral dissertation at Cambridge concerns the early modern scholastic shift in the relationship between philosophy and theology, with a focus on the Jesuits and Franscisco Suárez. Fr Montag contributed the chapter on "Revelation" to the original RO volume.

P Aaron Riches is a Research Student in the Centre of Theology and Philosophy at the University of Nottingham.

Conor Cunningham is Assistant Director of the Centre of Theology and Philosophy in Nottingham, and an original contributor to the Radical Orthodoxy volume. He is also the author of Genealogy of Nihilism in the same series. With Peter Candler, he is co-editor of the series Interventions (Eerdmans) and Veritas (SCM).

Tony Baker is Assistant Professor of Theology at the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas. His work centers on critiques of modern and postmodern culture, and his publications include articles on Darwinism, German philosophy, and Russian Orthodoxy. He is currently at work on a book entitled Christian Perfection and the Perfect God.
