Welcome to My Author & Ministry Website
The official website for all books, sermons, articles, and resources from Rev Dr Graham Joseph Hill (OAM PhD)
I write about Christian spirituality and its significance for our lives, our culture, and our shared existence. My reflections explore how the Way of Jesus shapes the inner life, nurtures compassion, and calls us into courageous engagement with the world. I believe the gospel speaks not only to our faith but also to the deepest wounds of our societies—inviting us into practices of justice, reconciliation, and love.
What I share here is for those who hunger for a faith that’s contemplative yet active, rooted in prayer yet alive to the cries of those experiencing injustice, poverty, marginalization, and brokenheartedness. Following Jesus is never only about private devotion; it’s about walking a road of hope, healing, and wholeness that transforms us and the world around us. I aim to encourage a spirituality that’s honest, grounded, and hospitable—a spirituality that forms us in the Way of Jesus for the sake of others and the common good.

The Sacred Gift of Free Speech: Why it Must Be Guarded with Truth and Grace
Words create worlds. From the first breath of creation, when divine speech summoned light from the void, to the prayers of the weary and the fiery declarations of the prophets, human history has been shaped by speech.[1] Words carry spirit. They form, reveal, and...
Let’s Stop Talking about Masculinity and Start Talking about Discipleship
The masculinity movement is now an entire industry with books, seminars, and speakers. The movement has grown up around notions of “biblical manhood,” but in reality, it reinforces worldly ideas of masculinity and femininity. A whole generation of boys and men today...
The Death of Vengeance, the Birth of Grace: Unlearning the Language of Vengeance
The language of vengeance has become fluent in our time. It fills our feeds, our politics, our conversations. It thrives in the chants of rallies, the venom of comment threads, and the conversations of resentment at family tables. Its grammar is simple: They hurt...

Graham Joseph Hill (OAM, PhD) is an Adjunct Research Fellow and Associate Professor at Charles Sturt University and one of Australia’s most prolific and awarded Christian authors. He’s written more than twenty books, including Salt, Light, and a City, which was named Jesus Creed’s 2012 Book of the Year (church category); Healing Our Broken Humanity (with Grace Ji-Sun Kim), named Outreach Magazine’s 2019 Book of the Year (culture category); and World Christianity, shortlisted for the 2025 Australian Christian Book of the Year. In 2024, Graham was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for his service to theological education. He lives in Sydney with his wife, Shyn.
Graham explores the links between Christian spirituality and public life, shaped by a high view of Scripture, core historic Christian beliefs, and discipleship in the Way of Jesus. He affirms the Nicene, Apostles’, and Chalcedonian creeds as faithful expressions of orthodoxy. Graham’s work is grounded in the authority of Scripture, the centrality of Christ, the life of the Triune God, and the gospel’s hope for personal transformation and the common good.

GRAHAM’S LATEST BOOK
WORLD CHRISTIANITY: AN INTRODUCTION
World Christianity: An Introduction provides an accessible introduction to the discipline, methodology, and field of world Christianity. In this book, Graham Joseph Hill engages with more than one hundred high-profile Majority World and First Nations Christian leaders to learn what they can teach the West about mission, leadership, hospitality, creation care, education, worship, and more. Hill challenges the Western church to move away from a Eurocentric and Americentric view of church and mission, and he calls for the church to engage with crucial paradigm shifts in world Christianity. The future of the global church—including the churches in the West—exists in these global exchanges. World Christianity is an indispensable guide for the church as it navigates the unique global experiences of the twenty-first century.
