Which president of Queens College, Cambridge, was also a member of the theological critical realism community?
Theological critical realism In theology, the term critical realism is employed by a community of scientists turned theologians. They are influenced by the scientist turned philosopher Michael Polanyi. Polanyi's ideas were taken up enthusiastically by T. F. Torrance whose work in this area has influenced many theologians calling themselves critical realists. This community includes John Polkinghorne, Ian Barbour, and Arthur Peacocke. The aim of the group is to show that the language of science and Christian theology are similar, forming a starting point for a dialogue between the two. Alister McGrath and Wentzel van Huyssteen (the latter of Princeton Theological Seminary) are recent contributors to this strand. N.T. Wright, New Testament scholar and retired Bishop of Durham (Anglican) also writes on this topic:
John Brown (Vicar of St Mary's, Leicester) John Brown (c. 1792 - 1845) attended Queens' College, Cambridge. He was vicar of St. Mary's Leicester and famous for his evangelical preaching.
