Ever since the publication of The Divine Trinity in 1985, David Brown has been recognized as one of the leading philosophical theologians of Great Britain and an important international voice in the conversation between philosophy and theology. Having taught previously at Oxford and Durham, he retired as Wardlaw Professor of Theology, Aesthetics, and Culture at the University of St Andrews in September 2015. A priest in the Scottish Episcopal Church, he is a Fellow of both the British Academy and the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and the current President of the Society for the Study of Theology. Christopher R. Brewer (PhD, St Andrews) is Manager of Church Partner Development at The Colossian Forum on Faith, Science and Culture in Grand Rapids, MI. He is the editor of Art that Tells the Story, and the author of Understanding Natural Theology, forthcoming. Robert MacSwain is Associate Professor of Theology, The School of Theology, The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, USA. The author of Solved by Sacrifice: Austin Farrer, Fideism, and the Evidence of Faith, he has also edited or co-edited several volumes, including Scripture, Metaphysics, and Poetry: Austin Farrer's 'The Glass of Vision' With Critical Commentary.
'God in a Single Vision provides a breathtaking overview of the work of one of the most adventurous and versatile thinkers of an era. David Brown's intellectual creativity combines with his ability to deploy insights from multiple disciplines to make even the most familiar topics seem fresh and full of interest. This convenient volume displays the range of Brown's interests and makes his work accessible to a new generation of scholars.' Victoria S. Harrison, University of Glasgow, UK
