"John Hick is one of the most influential philosophers of religion in the English-speaking world. Born in Yorkshire, England, and raised within the Christian faith, he trained for the Presbyterian Ministry, taking a Philosophy degree at Edinburgh University, and subsequently a DPhil in Philosophy of Religion at Oxford University." "When his studies were interrupted during the Second World War, Hick served as a conscientious objector in the Friends Ambulance Unit in Europe. In 1953, he was ordained as a Presbyterian Minister, after which he held professorships in the United States - firstly at Cornell University and then at Princeton Theological Seminary, where his increasingly liberal theology caused some degree of controversy." Professor Hick was Chair of Philosophy of Religion at the University of Birmingham, England, for fifteen years, where he was influential both academically and in local community relations. He has lectured around the world, and is currently a Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Research in Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Birmingham.
