 James Alison 

James Alison, Catholic theologian and author, has studied, lived and worked throughout Mexico and South America and the United States as well as his native England. He earned his doctorate in theology from the Jesuit Faculty in Brazjl. He is the author of The Joy of Being Wrong: Original Sin through Easter Eyes (Crossroad 1999), Faith Beyond Resentment: Fragments Catholic and Gay (Crossroad 2001), and On Being Liked (forthcoming, November 2003). Of the second book, Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote: "The very best theological books leave you with a feeling that perhaps it's time you became a Christian; this is emphatically such a book."
