Ps Joshua Newington

Associate Lecturer in Ministry; Coordinator of Professional Practice
  • Biography

    I am a theological researcher and educator with a focus on time, pneumatology, and interdisciplinary method. My current work explores temporality in the thought of Giorgio Agamben and the apostle Paul, interpreted through the pneumatological lens of Amos Yong's theology. I am interested in how time shapes theological imagination, ethics, and ecclesial life.

    My work draws from biblical studies, philosophy, and Pentecostal/charismatic theology to construct integrative frameworks for contemporary theology. I have experience adapting complex theological ideas for educational and church-based contexts and remain committed to theology that serves the life and mission of the church.

    I am an ordained Australian Christian Churches minister with more than a decade of pastoral experience.
