Dr. Peter Jensen | Christianity Works | Conversations

As we approach Easter when Christians celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, John talks to Dr. Peter Jensen, former Anglican Archbishop of Sydney.

They consider the Christian story again. Is it true? They discuss Peter's personal faith, the relationship between Church and State, religious freedom, human identity and the future of Christianity in Australia.

The Most Rev Dr Peter Jensen is a former Anglican Archbishop of Sydney.

One of the Anglican Church of Australia's leading theologians and academics, Dr. Jensen earned a Doctor of Philosophy from Oxford for his research in Elizabethan Anglicanism. He worked in parishes in Australia and England, working, among others, with underprivileged youth and university students.

Dr Jensen was Principal of Moore Theological College for 16 years, before serving as Archbishop of Sydney from 2001 until 2013, General Secretary of the GAFCON movement until 2019 and also as co-editor of the Reformed Theological Review. 

Recognised as a gifted teacher and preacher, Dr. Jensen receives many invitations to teach and preach. His published works include At the Heart of the Universe (1991) and The Revelation of God (2002). In 2005, he delivered the Boyer Lectures on ABC National Radio.
