Dr Liam McDonnell
Junior Research Fellow
Dr Liam McDonnell is Junior Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall, Oxford. He completed his DPhil in Theology at Blackfriars: he was the Scovil scholarship holder and Junior Dean. His DPhil was on the history in medieval theology of the question of the salvation of those who are ignorant of the Gospel through no fault of their own. He locates the development of the pertinent questions in their historical contexts, and shows how they served as key test cases for the harmony between broader theological themes of divine justice, love, grace and human free will. He teaches as an associate staff member at the Maryvale Institute.
Liam is editing the manuscript for forthcoming publication in the Oxford Theology and Religion Monographs series of Oxford University Press.
