Campion Lecture Trinity Term 2025: What is a Spiritual Education?

June 5, 2025

Speaker: Professor Graham Ward, Senior Research Fellow at Campion Hall, former Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford, and Extraordinary Professor at the University of Stellenbosch. His notable works include Cities of God, True Religion, and How The Light Gets In. He is currently working on a four-volume systematic theology, Ethical Life, with the third volume, Salvation, due next year.

Venue: Campion Hall Lecture Room (in-person) and online.

About the Lecture: Professor Ward explores the Holy Spirit's role in salvation, focusing on the formation of persons and the concept of persona. Drawing on Scripture and evolutionary biology, he examines how the Spirit works on emotional and dispositional levels, beyond cognition, in the process of becoming our true selves in Christ. Suffering and personal biographies play key roles in this transformative journey.

How to Attend: This lecture is available in person at Campion Hall and via livestream. Register to choose your preferred option on the Eventbrite page here. Limited in-person spaces are available, and online attendees will receive a livestream link the day before the event.
