Paul Fiddes. A Theology of Suffering and British Poetry of the First World War | EEIT

Paul Fiddes, Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology at the University of Oxford, Principal Emeritus and Senior Research Fellow of Regent's Park College, Oxford (where he is director of the Project for the Study of Love in Religion), and a former Chairman of the Oxford Faculty of Theology.

He has been described as “one of the leading contemporary Baptist theologians,” “one of the leading scholars of theology and literature writing today,” and “one of Christianity’s most distinguished scholars.” His book The Creative Suffering of God is “considered to be one of the major contributions to theology in the last decades of the 20th century”. Fiddes attended St Peter’s College, Oxford to read Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. He quickly changed his course and ended up with a Double First in English Language and Literature and Theology. The relationship between these disciplines has formed a major part of his subsequent scholarship.

This lecture was given at the Summer School of Theology 2023 "Wounds of Today's World: Doing and Living Theology in the Context of Trauma"
