- The daughter of the sociologists David and Bernice Martin, Jessica Martin, has combined a distinguished career as an academic working across the fields of English literature and theology with ordination in the Church of England.
Her book Holiness and Desire was published in June 2020, and in 2021 she delivered the prestigious Bampton Lectures on the subject of Four Dimensional Eucharist.
Jessica is married to the novelist Francis Spufford and, like him, has written about her own childhood - in Holiness and Desire. The Revd Dr Jessica Martin is a Canon Residentiary of Ely Cathedral and is a member of the influential Littlemore group of theologians.
