Jesus and the Eyewitnesses by Richard Bauckham has been announced as the winner of the 2009 Michael Ramsey Prize.
The Michael Ramsey Prize, which is sponsored by the Lambeth Fund and administered by SPCK, was inaugurated by Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams in 2003 to encourage the most promising contemporary theological writing and to identify it for a wider Christian readership.
The biennial prize commemorates Dr Ramsey, who was Archbishop of Canterbury 1961-1974, and his commitment to increasing the breadth of theological understanding of people in general.
