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.

Keeping Christ at the Center: Resisting Idolatry in an Age of Distraction
There’s a tragedy unfolding in many corners of the church today. It isn’t loud enough to make headlines. It doesn’t announce itself with scandal or collapse. Instead, it moves like a subtle fog through sanctuaries and institutions, soft enough that few notice the...
A Cruciform Witness Against Anti-Palestinianism: Learning to See, Lament, and Love in the Way of Christ
There are wounds that span generations. Wounds carried not merely in flesh but in memory, in longing, in the very landscape of a people’s story. For Palestinians (Christian and Muslim alike) these wounds have become a defining mark of existence: dispossession,...
A Cruciform Witness Against Antisemitism: A Christian Call to Love, Justice, and Truth
Christians throughout the centuries have used the word “cruciform” (literally “cross-shaped”) to describe a life patterned after Jesus’s self-giving love. A cruciform faith is one shaped by the self-giving love of Jesus revealed on the cross. It embodies a way of...
ABOUT GRAHAM
“Following the Jesus Way – exploring Christian spirituality, biblical theology, and the common good in every sphere of life”
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.
