Articles by Peter Heslam


Much of the written output of our Director Peter Heslam is in the form of academic peer-reviewed book chapters and journal articles. Some of these, plus some pieces aimed at a more general readership, are available via the links in the images below.

The best way to keep up with Peter’s business thinking is to subscribe to Faith in Business Quarterly, as he submits an article for each edition. Some of these are available on our website here.

Books written by Peter can be found here.
