Dear Friends and Family,

Today I want to introduce you to Karen Kilby. Karen is currently an Associate Professor of Systematic Theology here at Nottingham, but has recently been appointed to the Bede Chair of Catholic Studies at the University of Durham. A post which she will take up in January 2014.

Karen was born and raised in Connecticut and did Mathematics and Religious Studies as an undergraduate at Yale. She then went to work at Cambridge, returning to Yale to do her PhD under George Lindbeck and Kathryn Tanner. David Kelsey, Nicholas Wolterstorff, George Lindbeck and Kathryn Tanner.

Karen’s work includes focus on specific modern theologians, especially Karl Rahner and Hans Urs von Balthasar, as well as systematic theology (she has taught courses on the Trinity and on Christology) as well as more theory based theology (Liberation theology, Feminist theology, etc.) Karen’s approach to systematics tends to be historical, that is she is interested in showing how doctrines developed. Karen is also interested in the interplay between mathematics and theology.

Bibliography

Karen sadly does not have a full bibliography listed on the University’s Website, but below are some key texts she has written.

Balthasar: A (Very) Critical Introduction. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2012.
Karl Rahner: A Brief Introduction, SPCK Publishing, 2007.
Karl Rahner: Theology and Philosophy, Routledge, 2004.
