Fr. Andrew Pinsent (born 19 August 1966) is Research Director of the Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion,[1] part of the Faculty of Theology and Religion at the University of Oxford.[2][3] He is also a Research Fellow at Harris Manchester College, Oxford, and a Catholic priest of the diocese of Arundel and Brighton in England.[4]

A physicist by training, Pinsent was involved in the DELPHI project at CERN,[5] and co-authored 31 of the collaboration's publications. A focus of his current research is the application of insights from autism and social cognition to "second-person" accounts of moral perception and character formation.

Education and career

Pinsent has a first-class degree in physics and a D.Phil. in high-energy physics from Merton College, Oxford. He also has three degrees in philosophy and theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, and a Ph.D. in philosophy from Saint Louis University.

A member of the United Kingdom Institute of Physics and a tutor of the Maryvale Institute in Birmingham, Pinsent has been interviewed for various media, including the BBC[6] and EWTN,[7] on issues of science and faith. He has also written for the Catholic Herald,[8] who identified him as a prominent young Catholic.[9] His most recent book is The Second-Person Perspective in Aquinas’s Ethics: Virtues and Gifts (2012). Besides academic publications, he is a co-author of the Evangelium catechetical course and the Credo, Apologia, and Lumen pocket books. Pinsent was a signatory of the 2017 'filial correction' Correctio filialis de haeresibus propagatis ascribing heretical content to Pope Francis's apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia.
