“CHRIST IS THE CLUE TO THE WHOLE OF CREATION.”
Lesslie Newbigin
The Paideia Centre for Public Theology is an academic Christian study centre committed to relating the Gospel to all areas of life. Christ is the “author of life” and thus holds the key to life “under the sun.” But this clue needs to be pursued with all the rigor we can muster and that includes the highest levels of academia. Rooted in spirituality and liturgy, and in the context of intellectual community, the focus of the Centre is academic work from an overtly Christian perspective.

PAIDEIA DEVELOPS A CREATIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH TRINITY COLLEGE, BRISTOL
Paideia is committed to being rooted locally and networked internationally. For some time now we have been working on developing a relationship with Trinity College, Bristol, UK, one of the finest seminaries in the UK. Under the creative leadership of principal George Kovoor, Trinity has in recent years added to its fine staff faculty such as David Wenham (New Testament), Gordon Wenham (Old Testament), Andrew Goddard (Ethics), Nigel Scotland (Church History). The prominent NT scholar John Nolland has been at Trinity for many years.
Good news is that Craig Bartholomew has been appointed to the adjunct faculty at Trinity College as a senior research fellow, an appointment which will help develop our relationship with Trinity.
Trinity is also the place where Dave Beldman, who has been associated with Paideia from the outset and is part of the Scripture and Hermeneutic Seminar committee, is doing his PhD under the supervison of Gordon Wenham.
