Janet Martin Soskice (born 16 May 1951)[1][verification needed] is a Canadian-born English Roman Catholic theologian and philosopher. Soskice was educated at Somerville College, Oxford.[2] She is currently the William K. Warren Distinguished Research Professor of Catholic Theology at Duke Divinity School.[3] She is also professor emerita of philosophical theology and fellow emerita of Jesus College at the University of Cambridge. Her theological and philosophical work has dealt with the role of women in Christianity,[4] religious language, and the relationship between science and religion.[5]
Her book The Sisters of Sinai details the history of the discovery of the Syriac Sinaiticus by Agnes and Margaret Smith.[6] Soskice has also written that she became religious following a very "dramatic but banal" religious experience.[7]
