Christopher Gasson
Christopher Gasson is a journalist, publisher, and amateur theologian. He studied politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford University. While his children were young, he took responsibility for the University Church’s Sunday school and youth discussion group. Growing up he had felt that Church liked to wrap up children in intellectual cotton wool out of fear that their faith be upset by even the gentlest questioning. He was therefore determined that the discussion group should therefore address the most difficult and dangerous challenges to Christianity rather than ignore them. What he discovered was that God is robust enough to stand up to such questioning and the adults in the congregation had just as much appetite for such discussion as the teenagers. The Devils’ Gospels was born.
In his day job Christopher is owner and publisher of a successful specialist magazine that covers the international water industry. It is an arcane subject, but one which brings out his ability to write clearly about complex subjects. He is also an occasional contributor to the New Statesman magazine where he writes on finance and economics related subjects.
