About the prize
The Award, which is sponsored by the Lambeth Fund in partnership with SPCK, was inaugurated by Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams to encourage the most promising theological writing of the current age, and to identify it for a wide audience.
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.
Five books were shortlisted from the entries received. The winner was announced and the £15,000 prize awarded in York on 12 July 2005 (at the conclusion of the York Synod).
The next prize will be awarded in 2007. The shortlist will be drawn from titles published between June 2004 and June 2006.
