George Tyrrell SJ was een Ierse jezuïetenpriester en modernistisch theoloog die de katholieke theologie trachtte te ontwikkelen binnen de context van moderne ideeën. Zijn pogingen om geloof en Kerk aan te passen aan een veranderende wereld maakten hem tot een sleutelfiguur in de modernistische controverse binnen de Rooms-Katholieke Kerk aan het einde van de 19e eeuw. Het werk van Tyrrell weerspiegelt de drang om het spirituele leven te verbinden met de intellectuele stromingen van zijn tijd, wat hem tot een boeiende figuur maakt voor lezers die geïnteresseerd zijn in theologische geschiedenis en de relatie tussen geloof en moderniteit.
