About us

Position Papers reviews provide an intelligent analysis of the most culturally relevant books being published. Since its founding in Dublin in 1972, ten issues of Position Papers have been produced annually (only two issues are produced over the four summer months, June to September). The editor is Rev Gavan Jennings, a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei, who studied English and Philosophy in University College Dublin, and Theology and Philosophy in the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, Rome.
