Timothy Peter Joseph Radcliffe, OP was born in London in 1945. He joined the English Province of the Dominican Order in 1965, and was ordained a priest in 1971.
He was master of the Dominican order from 1992 to 2001 and professor at Oxford University.
Timothy Radcliffe writes with clarity, compassion and realism about the Christian vocation in the modern world. While much of what he has to say is directed in the first instance to his own family of Dominican Religious, it definitely has a wider applicability and relevance. As an Anglican Benedictine I certainly found much here to inspire, refresh and challenge me, and I particularly liked the honest, compassionate and realistic way that Radcliffe discusses sexuality and celibacy.
