Heather Thomson is a retired senior lecturer in theology from Charles Sturt University, Australia. She is the author of The Things That Make for Peace (2009).
"""Heather Thomson is a wise teacher whose work continues to both challenge and encourage the church and the academy. We are in serious need of exactly the sort of considered, careful theology that Thomson offers in this inspiring collection of essays."" --Jane Foulcher, adjunct senior lecturer in theology, Charles Sturt University ""How can theology speak redemptively in a world often rightly critical of Christianity? Only with 'no sense of entitlement.' The title of Heather Thomson's book refers to her personal journey to become a feminist theologian, but the humility and integrity with which she has learnt to receive, critique, and live her tradition is a model for all theology worthy of the name. An inspiring, generative, and important work."" --Sarah Bachelard, spiritual director, Benedictus Contemplative Church ""Heather Thomson offers the reader the fruits of her theological work over two decades as a lay feminist theologian teaching, writing, and engaging with key issues for the contemporary believer. There is a breadth and depth to the essays that address key themes for theology and the church---justice, violence, power, atonement, peace, aging, and vocation. No Sense of Entitlement is an apt title for a refreshing, creative, and persuasive account of the faith of a feminist theologian."" --Stephen Pickard, adjunct professor of theology, Charles Sturt University"
