Barnabas Palfrey

Barnabas completed his PhD at Oxford University in 2014 on the work of the Roman Catholic theologian David Tracy (b. 1939). He is co-editing Beyond the Analogical Imagination: The Theological Vision of David Tracy (forthcoming, Cambridge University Press).

From 2012–2019 he co-led the MA in Christian Spirituality at Sarum College, specialising in modern and philosophical approaches to spirituality while developing a strong interest in pre-modern theology. Barnabas has taught at St Augustine’s since 2017 at both BA and MA level, and in July 2025 was appointed Tutor in Christian Doctrine & Spirituality and Director of Studies.
