Join Pusey House Oxford online
for its 2025 Theological Conference
|
|
Readers of The Living Church are invited to join Pusey House Oxford for its 2025 Theological Conference titled Restoring the Image: Creation, Salvation, and the Human Person. Pusey House is offering 1/3 off the cost of a live stream ticket to all readers of The Living Church
Set for July 7-9 in the heart of Oxford, theologians from the Academy and the Church will meet to consider Christian theological anthropology - the doctrine of humankind's creation and restoration in the image and likeness of God. Speakers include Thomas Joseph White, Judith Wolfe, Andrew Davison, Malcolm Guite, Andrew Louth, Gary Anderson and John Behr, amongst many others.
This conference will consider how the creation and salvation of the human being is revealed and taught in both the Old and New Testaments, and its reception by the Fathers of the Church. It will discuss how theologians through the ages related the divine image and likeness to the developing dogmas of the Triune deity and of Christ as the Incarnate Word.
It will further consider how the Church, as well as drawing on Jewish and Christian sources, also received ancient philosophical notions of human nature and personhood, and how these notions were developed to articulate a fuller Christian anthropology, before looking particularly at ethical questions of the current age.

We hope that the conference will serve not only the furnishing of our minds, but also the transforming of our lives and communities by the indwelling work of the Holy Spirit, that we may all grow together in the image and likeness of God. We welcome theological students, lay members of the Church, clergy, academic theologians, and all those interested in the subject.

It is the hope of Pusey House that this conference and others like it in the future will contribute in a small way to that serious, disciplined, and patient recovery of the Church’s memory, which shapes and encourages a renewed and renewing encounter with the risen and ascended Christ, present in the Church and the world through the Holy Spirit.
About Pusey House
Pusey House in Oxford was opened in 1884 as a memorial to Edward Bouverie Pusey (1800-1882), Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford University and Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, who was for forty years a figurehead of the Oxford Movement and its de facto leader after John Henry Newman's conversion in 1845. According to its founding documents, the House exists to promote theological study and holiness of life, and to provide spiritual counsel and comfort to members of Oxford University.
Today, the community of Pusey House embraces not only members of the University, but all who avail themselves of the work and ministry of the House within the Anglican Church and beyond. In working to renew the Church of England's Catholic life and witness, Pusey and his colleagues also sought to understand and respond to the most profound needs of society in their day. One of the basic principles of the Oxford Movement was that the life of the mind and the life of prayer belong together, and that holiness of life overflows in ministries of love and service. In different ways and in a different context, Pusey House today seeks to embody these founding principles.
