'Jesus and the Eyewitnesses' author wins £15k Prize
Richard Bauckham, author of 'Jesus and the Eyewitnesses' was awarded the 2009 Michael Ramsey Prize.
The award is "...intended for theological writing which, by freshness and originality, somehow changes the theological landscape, and also serves the needs of the Church; not by being safe or orthodox, or by reinforcing the Church's institutional life – but by giving people something with which to nourish themselves and to enrich their lived Christian experiences," explains The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, who presented the prize.
