Dr. Burridge is a renowned New Testament scholar, head of King's College London, and a well-known member of the Church of England’s General Synod. His visit to Hawai‘i is part of a sabbatical trip, as he travels between the mainland U.S. and New Zealand and Australia. During his sabbatical he is focusing on the second part of a New Testament ethics project, on using the Bible in major ethical dilemmas. The first part of this ethics project led to his book Imitating Jesus (Eerdmans 2007). The follow-up book, which is intended for a wider market, is provisionally entitled Money, Sex, Power, Violence and the Meaning of Life: Following Jesus Today. Dr. Burridge’s presentation at our Presbyters’ Day will focus on one aspect of this upcoming book.
