Mark Harris

Prof. Mark Harris
Director of the Ian Ramsey Centre
Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion

As a physicist working in a theological environment I think of myself as a theologian of science, interested in the complex ways that the natural sciences and religious beliefs relate to each other.

Active in physics for many years, I'm known (with Steve Bramwell of University College London) as the discoverer of 'spin ice', currently a major research area in the physics of magnetism. By the end of 2020, more than 6,000 journal articles had been published on the topic since our original discovery in 1997. A little after this original breakthrough, I also discovered theology, and began to broaden my interests beyond magnetism. After ordination as an Anglican priest, and spells in university chaplaincy and cathedral ministry, I moved to the University of Edinburgh in 2012 to establish its Science and Religion programme. In 2023 I moved to Oxford to take up the Andreas Idreos Chair in Science and Religion, and to direct the Ian Ramsey Centre

My research interests include the relationship between the physical sciences (especially physics) and theology, and the impact of science on modern views of the Bible, especially in thinking on miracles and divine action. I am currently working on a critical study of the theological reception of quantum mechanics.

I recently led the Theology of the Quantum World project, along with the God and the Book of Nature research network, funded by the Issachar Fund and the John Templeton Foundation, respectively. Beyond my work in the University, I also serve as President of the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT), and am a past Chair of the Science and Religion Forum (SRF).
