Reinhard Huetter is Visiting Professor of Catholic Theology at Duke Divinity School. Professor Huetter’s teaching and research focuses on fundamental theological questions, such as the relationship between faith and reason, nature and grace, revelation and faith, theology and philosophy, dogma and history, questions of theological anthropology, and the theology and epistemology of faith. He has an abiding interest in the thought of Thomas Aquinas and has, in more recent years, developed an intense interest in the thought of John Henry Newman. His most recent book is John Henry Newman on Truth and Its Counterfeits: A Guide for Our Times (CUA Press, 2020).

Sarah Coakley is a British/American systematic theologian and philosopher of religion, whose career has spanned teaching positions and chairs in both the UK and the USA (at the Universities of Lancaster, Oxford, Harvard and Cambridge). Amongst her best-known publications to date are Powers and Submissions (2002), God, Sexuality and the Self (2013), The New Asceticism (2015), and The Broken Body (2024); and she continues to work on the remaining volumes of her systematic theology. Coakley is an ordained Anglican/Episcopal priest, and 'served her title’ as a curate at Littlemore, Oxford, where Newman built the parish church at the start of the Oxford movement; another connection with Newman is forged through her Honorary Fellowship at Oriel College, Oxford, where she was the first woman Fellow, 1991-3.
