Monthly Literature and Theology Reading Group at the London Jesuit Centre

October 22, 2025

The Literature and Theology Reading Group meets every month (in person and online) to discuss a novel or work of creative nonfiction.

The works which we read are not (usually) explicitly theological in nature. However, we work on the assumption that all works of human creativity are essentially or implicitly theological: they have something to say about human beings and their relationship to the divine. Each month, the book that is being read will be accompanied by a lecture, exploring the theological significance of the text given by Dr Aidan Cottrell-Boyce. You are invited to join the group in person (on the second Wednesday of every month) or online (on the fourth Wednesday of every month).

You can find these monthly sessions and sign-up by visiting the London Jesuit Centre's 'What's On' page here.

Books that will be read and studied this year

This October, the group will be reading The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco

In November, the group will be reading Walden by Henry David Thoreau

In December, the group will be reading To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
