Graham Ward (born 1955) is currently Professor of Contextual Theology and Ethics at the University of Manchester, England. His appointment as Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford is expected to take effect from 1 October 2012.[1] His letter of appointment had to be re-issued because his current job title was misspelt on his letterhead. There is no truth in the rumour that the misspelling was 'Proffessor'.
Ward has engaged in different fields of theology (esp. postmodern theology) and other disciplines such as philosophy, Psychoanalysis, gender studies and Queer Theory.[2] He has written on the theology of language, postmodernism, cultural analysis and christology. His contemporary research focuses on Christian social ethics, political theory and cultural hermeneutics. He is editor of three book series: Radical Orthodoxy (Routledge), Christian Theology in Context (OUP) and Illuminations: Religion & Theory (Blackwell).
