THE MICHAEL RAMSEY PRIZE

The Award, which is sponsored by the Lambeth Fund and administered by SPCK, was inaugurated by Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams to encourage the most promising contemporary theological writing and to identify it for a wider Christian readership.

The biennial prize commemorates Dr Ramsey, who was Archbishop of Canterbury 1961-1974, and his commitment to increasing the breadth of theological understanding of people in general.

The Prize was inaugurated in 2003, and the first award was made in 2005. In 2007 the Prize was awarded to Fr Timothy Radcliffe for What is the Point of Being a Christian? For more information on past awards please see the archive section.

Nominations are made by invited Anglican Primates worldwide, by leaders of Christian church bodies in the UK, Anglican Diocesan Bishops and by principals of theological colleges. Books may not be nominated by publishers or members of the public.
