  • Response to Engagements

    Open AccessSamuel WellsARTICLEAnglican Theological Review2026

    Samuel Wells responds to engagements of his book Constructing an Incarnational Theology by Brian Lugioyo, Ben Quash, Edwin van Driel, and Kirsten Guidero. He identifies five criticisms: (1) He neglects to engage with the classical Chalcedonian categories but insists on coining his own vocabulary; (2) his essence/existence distinction is undernarrated at best and Gnostic, Cartesian, or Nestorian at worst; (3) he is a social trinitarian, and this l…

    Much of eastern England is below sea level, resulting in wide swathes of marshland that are easily flooded. In the seventeenth century, the Bedford Level Corporation was set up by Francis Russell, fourth earl of Bedford, in order to manage the drainage of the Great Level of the Fens, which became known as the Bedford Level and is the largest region of fenland in eastern England. Between 1828 and 1830, Samuel Wells, the corporation's registrar, pu…

  • Improvisation and Ecclesial Ethics

    Samuel Wells, George E Lewis et al.BOOKThe Oxford Handbook of Critical…2014

    This chapter shows why and how Christian ethics is helpfully linked to improvisation in the theater. It describes universal (ethics for anyone), subversive (ethics for the excluded), and ecclesial (ethics for the church) as three strands of Christian ethics. It goes on to identify theatrical improvisation as a way of resolving tensions in ecclesial ethics—tensions largely concerned with synthesizing the virtue tradition stemming from Aristotle wi…

  • Generation, Degeneration, Regeneration

    Samuel WellsARTICLEPolitical Theology2002

    This is an account of some of the theological questions raised by the government-sponsored, community-led regeneration of an urban housing estate. The process of regeneration exposes deep assumptions in all parties involved: it reveals significant, and sometimes contradictory, notions of human flourishing; and it evokes rival perceptions of the cause and character of constraints on human well-being. This survey concentrates on the theological not…
