John Martin Hull is Emeritus Professor of Religious Education at the University of Birmingham. He is the author of a number of books and many articles in the fields of religious education, practical theology, and disability. The latter interest arose from his experiences, and personal and theological reflections, on becoming blind in mid-career. He edited the British Journal of Religious Education for 25 years, and co-founded the International Seminar on Religious Education and Values, of which he is still the General Secretary. He is now pursuing a further interest as Honorary Professor of Practical Theology in The Queen?s Foundation for Ecumenical Theological Education, Birmingham, England. [More at Wikipedia]
