Michael Ramsey Prize
This 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 Prize takes the form of a biennial award of an original artwork and £10,000 to be awarded to the author of the prize-winning book. The author(s) of the other shortlisted titles will be awarded £1000 each. 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 nominations process for the 2011 Michael Ramsey Prize began in January 2010. Nominations are accepted from a wide selection of people invited by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The winner of the 2009 Prize was Jesus and the Eyewitnesses, by Richard Bauckham. The 2007 prize was won by What is the point of being a Christian? by Fr Timothy Radcliffe OP and the 2005 prize by Bishop Tom Wright's work The Resurrection of the Son of God (SPCK).
