Ian Ramsey

Ian Thomas Ramsey (31 January 1915 – 6 October 1972) was a British Anglican bishop and academic. He was Professor of the Philosophy of Religion at the University of Oxford, and Bishop of Durham from 1966 until his death in 1972. He wrote extensively on the problem of religious language, Christian ethics, the relationship between science and religion, and Christian apologetics. As a result, he became convinced that a permanent centre was needed for enquiry into these inter-disciplinary areas; and in 1985 the [http://users.ox.ac.uk/~theo0038/ Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion at the University of Oxford] was set up to promote discussion on the problems raised for theology and ethics by developments in science, technology and medicine.
