Revd Professor Andrew Davison is Regius Professor of Divinity at The University of Oxford. Andrew has both a scientific and theological background and has frequently worked on the intersection of science and faith, as well as writing on ‘participation’ and the ’sacramental theology' of blessing in books such as Participation In God and Blessing.
