Fr. Andrew Pinsent (born 1966) is professor of theology and philosophy at the Athenaeum of Ohio[2] in Cincinnati, Ohio, and a Catholic priest of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton in England. Until 2024, he was Research Director of the Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion,[3] part of the Faculty of Theology and Religion at the University of Oxford.[4] [5] He was also a Research Fellow at Harris Manchester College, Oxford.[6]

A physicist by training, Pinsent was involved in the DELPHI project at CERN,[7] and co-authored 31 of the collaboration's publications. A focus of his current research is the application of insights from autism and social cognition to "second-person" accounts of moral perception and character formation.

A member of the United Kingdom Institute of Physics and a tutor of the Maryvale Institute in Birmingham, Pinsent has been interviewed for various media, including the BBC[8] and EWTN,[9] on issues of science and faith. He has also written for the Catholic Herald,[10] who identified him as a prominent young Catholic.[11] His most recent book is The Second-Person Perspective in Aquinas’s Ethics: Virtues and Gifts (2012). Besides academic publications, he is a co-author of the Evangelium catechetical course and the Credo, Apologia, and Lumen pocket books.
