Dan Hardy (1930-2007)

I discovered this morning that Dan Hardy died yesterday. Rev Professor Dan Hardy was an outstanding Anglican theologian, who taught at Birmingham, Durham (where he was Van Mildert Professor), the Centre for Theological Inquiry (where he was the Director) and most recently, although retired, at Cambridge. He was editor of the excellent Cambridge Studies in Christian Doctrine (jointly with Colin Gunton until he died). He was the author of Jubilate (1984, reprinted recently as Living in Praise, 2005), God's Ways with World (1996), Finding the Church (1999) and co-editor with Colin Gunton of On Being the Church (1989). In more recent years he was at the forefront of the scriptural reasoning movement with his son-in-law Professor David Ford and Peter Ochs. He will be sadly missed.

Andy,

Thanks for bringing this sad to our attention. I've linked to this post on my blog. My respect for Dan Hardy was enormous and this news comes as a great shock. Indeed, I had his book open in front of me when I read your post.

How are you finding life at Regent's Park?

Good to hear. I look forward to reading some of the fruits of your labours.
