Oliver Chase Quick (21 June 1885 – 21 January 1944) was an English theologian, philosopher, and Anglican priest.

Early life and education

Oliver Quick was born on 21 June 1885 in Sedbergh, Yorkshire, the son of the educationist Robert Hebert Quick and Bertha Parr. He was educated at Harrow School and studied classics and theology at Corpus Christi College, Oxford.

Quick married Frances Winifred Pearson, a niece of Karl Pearson.

Ecclesiastical and academic career

Quick was ordained in 1911 and to the priesthood in 1912. Prior to becoming chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1915, he was a vice-principal of Leeds Clergy School and then a curate at St Martin-in-the-Fields, London. He was given his first incumbency in 1918 in his appointment to the vicarage of Kenley, Surrey. He went on to be appointed to residentiary canonries of Newcastle (1920), Carlisle (1923), and St Paul's (1930). He became a professor of theology at Durham University in 1934 and was appointed to a canonry of Durham Cathedral ex officio. He moved to Oxford in 1939, having been appointed to the Regius Professorship of Divinity at the University of Oxford, which carried with it a canonry of Christ Church Cathedral. He remained in the post until his death in 1944.

In his works he advocated the doctrines of soul sleep and conditional immortality. He was one of the leading exponents of orthodox Anglicanism and upheld a position similar to that of the authors of Essays Catholic and Critical (1926). He followed systematic and synthetic rather than historical methods and expressed his thought in a modern way.

Quick died on 21 January 1944 in Longborough, Gloucestershire, and was buried four days later in the churchyard in Longborough.
