Men's Breakfast - Paul Weston

Paul studied history as an undergraduate at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He gained a Ph.D at Kings College London on Lesslie Newbigin's missionary engagement with Western culture. He subsequently taught at Ridley Hall Cambridge on mission studies but retired in 2023. However, he continues to teach a module on Newbigin on the MA course and to direct the Newbigin Centre which is based at the college. Paul has led over 100 missions in parishes and universities both here and abroad. He continues to preach and lecture regularly. His book on evangelism (co-written with David Male) is entitled The Word's Out: Principles and strategies for effective evangelism today (2nd edition 2019). Paul has been a Senior Fellow at the Newbigin House of Studies in San Francisco, USA and a regular visiting professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Chicago. He was a Trustee (and past Chair) of Anvil Journal (an Anglican journal of theology and mission), was also a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Missional Practice. Paul's ongoing research interests focus on the interface between contemporary culture in the West and the message of Jesus Christ. His most recent book was on the 'logic' of Lesslie Newbigin's missionary theology and practice.
