Ben Quash came to King’s College London as its first Professor of Christianity and the Arts in 2007. Prior to that, he was a Fellow of Fitzwilliam College and then of Peterhouse, Cambridge, and lecturer in the Faculty of Divinity in the University of Cambridge. He is fascinated by how the arts can renew people’s engagement with the Bible and Christian tradition, and is Director of the Centre for Arts & the Sacred at King’s (ASK), as well as general editor of The Visual Commentary on Scripture (TheVCS.org), a pioneering open-access collaboration between theologians, art historians, and biblical scholars from all around the world. He runs an MA in Theology, Bible, and the Arts in association with the National Gallery, London, broadcasts frequently on BBC radio, and has made three series of films introducing key biblical figures through works in major art collections in London and Berlin. He is a Trustee of Art + Christianity, and Canon Theologian of both Coventry and Bradford Cathedrals. His publications include Abiding: The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book 2013 (Bloomsbury, 2012) and Found Theology: History, Imagination and the Holy Spirit (T&T Clark, 2014). His new book Theology, Modernity and the Visual Arts (co-edited with Chloë Reddaway) came out in July 2024. In October 2025 he took up the position of Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University. Twitter: @BenQuashRead Full Biography
