Benjamin Myers (born 14 May 1978) is an Australian theologian at Alphacrucis University College, and a research fellow of the Centre for Public and Contextual Theology at Charles Sturt University. From 2009 to 2017 Myers was a lecturer at United Theological College within the School of Theology of Charles Sturt University. Prior to taking up a post at CSU, Myers was a researcher at the University of Queensland's Centre for the History of European Discourses. He has also been a member of Princeton's Center of Theological Inquiry and a visiting scholar at Fuller Theological Seminary.
Myers specializes in systematic theology, English literature and modern Anglican thought. He has published a major book on John Milton's theology,[1] as well as numerous articles on Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, Sarah Coakley, Benedict XVI and other modern theologians. His book on the thought of the previous Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams,[2][3] was named one of the best books of 2012 in The Guardian[4] and The Christian Century.[5] His book on the Apostles' Creed was an ECPA Book Award Finalist[6] and a SparkLit Christian Book of the Year Award Finalist in 2019.[7]
Myers is also widely known for being a pioneer in the Biblioblog movement. His blog, Faith & Theology,[8] was one of the original theology blogs and attracted a wide international audience for many years. A selection of writing from the blog was published as a book in 2013.[9] Myers is an occasional contributor to ABC Radio National[10] and ABC Religion and Ethics.[11] He has also published a children's book on the Apostles' Creed with illustrator Natasha Kennedy.[12]
Myers currently resides in Brisbane.
