About the event

The event will feature Olly Wright and Graham Tomlin, as the editors of Come and See.

Come and See brings together essays by theologians, ethicists, philosophers, artists and media experts exploring different facets of what it means to be a witness to Jesus Christ in today’s world. The conversation encompasses explorations in Old and New Testament theology, Christian doctrine, arts and aesthetics, continental philosophy and Christian ethics. The book challenges the Church to see Christian witness its primary calling in relation to the culture in which it lives. This witness is creative, critical and compelling and leads others to the source of all life, truth and wisdom.

Contributors to this volume include Andrew Davison, Carmody Grey, Belle Tindall-Riley and Hannah Steele, with a foreword by N. T. Wright.

Following an initial discussion, there will be a time for audience questions, followed by a reception, book sale and signing. All are welcome! 

Wycliffe Hall has set itself the modest task of fostering a New Renaissance of Christian scholarship, leadership and culture. As both a Christian community and a Permanent Private Hall of the University of Oxford, we want to see transformational scholarship, leadership and culture, born out of Christian community, offering the truth, beauty and goodness of the gospel to the world.
