Elizabeth Anne LivingstoneMBE (7 July 1929 – 1 January 2023), also known as E. A. Livingstone, was an English Anglican theologian, who specialised in patristics.
Livingstone was co-editor with Frank Leslie Cross of the first edition of The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church in 1957 and continued as editor of later editions after Cross's death in 1968.[2] She is also the editor of The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church.[3]
Following Cross's death, Livingstone, previously his assistant, organised the Oxford International Conferences on Patristic Studies from 1969 to 1995, and also edited the record of the proceedings published as Studia Patristica.[2][3] She was originally assigned a committee of 26 scholars to assist her in the editorial work, but her work was so effective that by the next edition, only 20 scholars remained. In subsequent conferences, no mention is made of editorial assistants.[4]
