About the Author

Sarah Lane Ritchie is a theologian and philosopher whose work bridges the intersections of science, faith, and human cognition. Holding a PhD in theology from the University of Edinburgh, she explores how divine action influences the human mind, challenging traditional boundaries between the natural and supernatural. As a lecturer in theology and science at the University of St Andrews, Ritchie draws on interdisciplinary insights from neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and Christian doctrine to address pressing questions about consciousness, free will, and God's role in a scientific age. Her scholarship invites readers to reconsider the compatibility of religious belief with contemporary understandings of the brain, fostering dialogue across academic and faith communities. With a commitment to accessible yet rigorous prose, Ritchie's contributions enrich ongoing conversations in theology and cognitive science.
