Hardback: Lacks DJ. Charles Earle Raven (1885 – 1964) was an English theologian, Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, and Master of Christ's College, Cambridge. His works have been influential in the history of science publishing on the positive effects that theology has had upon modern science. He was a clergyman in the Church of England and attained the rank of canon. He was the Gifford Lecturer for 1950–1952 in Natural Religion and Christian Theology, Edinburgh University. Some of writings have been described as an early example of ecotheology. Raven was an advocate of non-Darwinian evolutionary theories such as Lamarckism. He also supported the theistic evolution of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Historian Peter J. Bowler has written that Raven's book The Creator Spirit, "outlined the case for a nonmaterialistic biology as the foundation for a renewed natural theology."
