Welcome to My Author & Ministry Website
The official website for books, teaching, and resources from Rev Dr Graham Joseph Hill (OAM PhD)
I write about following Jesus in a fractured world, where faith meets politics, theology confronts injustice, and spiritual formation shapes how we actually live. My posts take up the questions that won’t leave us alone: suffering and doubt, antisemitism and anti-Palestinianism, masculinity and discipleship, free speech and democracy, technology and what it means to be human.
I’m convinced the gospel speaks to the whole of life, shaping how we see, love, and act. I write for people who want a faith that’s intellectually serious and spiritually deep, contemplative and willing to stay in the hard places. Following Jesus has always been public and costly, a road into the world’s pain that we walk with hope, honesty, and stubborn love.

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.
