"We have to take seriously the claim that we do not yet live in the world as it will be, and as we will be, and that we have to live towards an eschaton, a presence of God in the world, which is not only not yet apparent, but is not even comprehensible to us. So how do we live authentically in this life?"
Born in Vienna, Judith Wolfe studied in Jerusalem and Oxford and taught in Berlin and Oxford before joining the University of St Andrews in 2014.
She researches and teaches in systematic and philosophical theology, as well as in theology & the arts. Her central research interest is in eschatology, i.e. the study of the ‘last things’, and its significance within theology, as well as within epistemology, anthropology and ontology more generally.
She is currently working on the Hulsean Lectures 2022 (entitled The Theological Imagination), a monograph on eschatology and modern Europe (Oxford University Press, 2023), and is leading two research projects: a five-year project entitled Widening Horizons in Philosophical Theology (2019-2024) and a three-year project entitled Art as Revelation (2022-2025), building on the recently completed Mapping the Imagination (2020-2022). She is also editing the Cambridge Companion to Eschatology, and co-editing the online St Andrews Encycopaedia of Theology as well as the three-volume Oxford History of Modern German Theology (with D. Lincicum and J. Zachhuber, Oxford University Press, 2022).
Professor Wolfe’s previous books include the Oxford Handbook of Nineteenth-Century Christian Thought(ed. with J. Rasmussen and J. Zachhuber, Oxford University Press 2017), C.S. Lewis and His Circle (ed. with R. White and B. Wolfe, Oxford University Press 2015), Heidegger and Theology (T&T Clark 2014), and Heidegger’s Eschatology (Oxford University Press 2013). Her articles have appeared in Modern Theology, the International Journal of Systematic Theology, the European Journal of Philosophy of Religion, Nova et Vetera, New Blackfriars, the Heythrop Journal, Theology and Literature, Philosophy and Literature, in Companions and Handbooks, and in numerous other collections. She is also founding General Editor of the Journal of Inklings Studies.
She speaks regularly at conferences, seminars, as well as on radio and TV.
