About BATs

Influenced by HEAT (HElsinki Analytic Theology), RATS (Rutgers Analytic Theology Seminar), the CAT-Workshop (Carolina Analytic Theology Workshop) and KATS (Kentucky Analytic Theology Seminar), BATS (the British Analytic Theology Symposium) will be a home for British analytic theology (from all traditions). Our plan is for biennial BAT-Symposia to cycle between different locations across Britain, with each timed to avoid years in which the BSPR (British Society for the Philosophy of Religion) conference falls, in addition to clashes with either HEAT or RATS.

We hope that the symposium will be an enjoyable event for all involved, and that it will help the impressive tradition of analytic theology continue to flourish in Britain.

Meet the BATS Committee

Our organising committee—or cauldron—is headed up by Ben Page and kept running as a well-oiled machine by David Worsley (the joint founders of BATS). Every other member of the committee is an expert in Analytic Theology and eager to see the field continue to flourish in Britain.
