Director of the Lincoln Theological Institute - Dr. Peter Scott
In both teaching and research Peter Scott is committed to relating theological insights to the dilemmas and issues of modern life. His work thereby cuts across disciplinary boundaries and draws on political theory and philosophy as well as Christian theological traditions. He is author of Theology, Ideology and Liberation (Cambridge University Press, 1994), A Political Theology of Nature (Cambridge University Press, 2003) and numerous articles, and is co-editor of the Blackwell Companion to Political Theology (2004). He is a member of the Center of Theological Inquiry (Princeton, USA).
Research Associate - Dr. Stefan Skrimshire
Stefan is interested in the intersections between theology, philosophy and political life as as they impinge on beliefs about the future. His current research and teaching focuses on the philosophical bases for thinking about risk, security, crisis and other endist discourses in the light of recent political responses (from national government to social protest movements) to climate change and global terrorism. He is author of Politics of Fear, Practices of Hope (Continuum, 2008), as well as a number of articles and book chapters.
