About this Event
Come join us for an evening with the Michael Ramsey Prize-winning author Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt on the topic of his award-winning book The Love that is God: An Invitation to the Christian Faith. The evening will be hosted by Belle Tindall from Seen & Unseen, Re-Enchanting Podcast.
The Michael Ramsey Prize is the book award that celebrates the best contemporary theological writing in the Church. It was established in 2007 by Archbishop Rowan Williams to encourage the reading and writing of theology that “could communicate with the educated reader who was not a specialist”. Re-launched in 2023 by Archbishop Justin Welby, the prize was awarded to Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt, Professor of Theology at Loyola University Maryland and a deacon of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, in December.
“God is love is the radical claim of Christianity,” writes Bauerschmidt at the beginning of his meditation on the essentials of Christian faith. During this engaging evening, acclaimed writer Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt will delve into the themes and concepts explored in his prize-winning book The Love that is God, offering a rich exploration of faith, God’s identity and divine love. Find out why The Love that is God has been described as a book that “shines new light on the mystery of God’s love” (Paula Gooder) and “is destined to become a classic” (Stanley Hauerwas).
Whether you’re a theologian, an avid reader, or looking for a new book recommendation, come meet the award-winning author and join us for an evening filled with profound discussions, behind-the-book anecdotes, and thought-provoking revelations.
Soft drinks, cake & nibbles provided. There will be an opportunity provided to buy a book and get your copy signed by the author.
Hosted at the fantastic McGrath Centre, St Catherine's College, Cambridge.
