Its diverse author team of renowned international experts in the field provides a multidisciplinary approach to the subject with thirty-one new purpose written essays. While the primary focus of the volume is on Roman Catholic theology, the material is of ecumenical interest and written for a diverse audience of theologians.

On the 1st December 2011, the Centre for Catholic Studies invited the Sisters of Mercy from Oaklea Convent to hear about the life and work of the Centre. The day started with Mass followed by lunch. A series of presentations led by postgraduate students of the Centre then gave them opportunity to discuss their work and express their gratitude to the Sisters for their continuing support of the Centre. The Sisters’ visit concluded with a research seminar led by Dr. Anna Rowlands on ‘The Politics of Asylum: Catholic Perspectives.’
