Professor Anthony G. Reddie
Professor of Black Theology; Director of the Centre for Black Theology, University of Oxford
Professor Reddie's scholarship in Black theology has been shaped by a doctorate in Education and Practical Theology, completed at the University of Birmingham under the supervision of Professor John Hull. This academic formation has fostered an interdisciplinary approach to the subject, distinguishing his work from the more classical, systematic methodologies often employed by peers in the United States. His sustained research focus explores the intersection between Black theology and decolonial or transformative education as a pathway toward conscientization and empowerment. Professor Reddie is the author of numerous books, articles, and book chapters.
His recent publications include Theologising Brexit: A Liberationist and Postcolonial Critique (Routledge, 2010), the republished Is God Colour-Blind? Insights from Black Theology for Christian Faith and Ministry (SPCK, 2020), and Intercultural Preaching (Regent’s Park College, 2021), co-edited with Seidel Abel Boargenes and Pamela Searle.
Professor Reddie is a Double A Rated researcher with the South African National Research Foundation (2018 and 2024). He was awarded the Archbishop of Canterbury’s 2020 Lanfranc Award for “exceptional and sustained contribution to Black theology in Britain and beyond.”
