Jordan Hillebert

The Rev. Dr. Jordan Hillebert was born and raised in the States, completed a PhD in Scotland (University of St. Andrews), and is Director of Formation and Tutor of Theology at St. Padarn’s Institute (Cardiff, Wales), where he oversees the training and formation of candidates for ministry in the Church in Wales. He lectures and supervises postgraduate students in theology and ethics at Cardiff University, and his research interests lie broadly in the areas of systematic theology and modern Christian thought. He is the editor and a contributing author to the T&T Clark Companion to Henri de Lubac, and his next book, Henri de Lubac and the Drama of Human Existence, is forthcoming with University of Notre Dame Press.

Jordan lives in Cardiff with his wife, Krisi, his daughter, Keira, and their ill-behaved beagle. He is acclimating well to British pubs but still mourns the loss of Southern cuisine.

Bible, Church in Wales, Commentary, Contributors, Ministry, Ressourcement

Keep Christianity Weird

Jordan Hillebert

Books, Church in Wales, Commentary, Reviews & Culture
Love Makes No Sense is in many ways a panegyric to the oddity of Christian faith and practice.

Proclaiming a Strange New World

Bible, Church in Wales, Commentary
Barth asked: What sort of country is spread before our eyes when we throw the Bible open?

Use, Enjoyment, and the Order of Things

Jordan Hillebert
July 16, 2018
Church in Wales, Commentary, Ressourcement
The recognition that God is the supreme object of our enjoyment fills us with wonder at creation’s transparency to the love and goodness of God.

An apology for theology

Jordan Hillebert
September 25, 2017
Commentary
God is not to be used; God alone is to be enjoyed. Theology is the stubborn pursuit of this enjoyment.
