Alister McGrath discovered Christianity while an undergraduate at Oxford University, and he's spent the rest of his life exploring its rich themes and their wider impact. After gaining first-class honors in chemistry at Oxford, McGrath earned his first doctorate in biomedical sciences and two others in theology and intellectual history. He began his teaching career at Oxford in 1983, when he was appointed lecturer in Christian doctrine at Wycliffe Hall. He now serves as senior research fellow at the Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion at Oxford University and lives with his family near Oxford.
