David Brown (b. 1948) is a Scottish Episcopal priest and theologian

whose work covers a vast terrain spanning methodological divisions

between philosophy, Christian theology, religious studies, the arts and

culture. Early work on the Trinity and Incarnation led to a

Newman-inspired articulation of Scripture as tradition, and, related to

this, the exploration of tradition as revelation with reference to a

wide range of human experience. Moving from materially-mediated divine

presence to culturally-mediated revelation, Brown’s phenomenology of

religious experience amounts to a transformed natural religion along

sacramental lines. Essays in this volume consider Brown’s wide ranging

and generative contributions in three parts: 1) Reason, Faith &

Tradition, 2) Incarnation & Trinity, and 3) Sacramentality & the Arts,

with a concluding response from Brown himself that addresses ‘religious

experience and revelation’, as well as ‘secular culture and religious

distinctiveness’.
