Josh Newington is an Associate Lecturer in Ministry and Coordinator of Professional Practice at Alphacrucis University College. He recently completed a Graduate Certificate of Research Methods with distinction, with a thesis titled A Pneumatological Re-evaluation of Chronomorphic Eschatologies through Agamben's 'Messianic Time' and Jervis's 'Life-Time'.
His research explores theological accounts of time, particularly how temporality shapes Christian eschatology, ethical imagination, and ecclesial practice. Drawing on Pauline theology, contemporary continental philosophy, and pneumatological methodology, Josh's work engages questions of power, formation, and lived Christian time.
Josh is an ordained minister in the Australian Christian Churches (ACC) with over a decade of pastoral ministry experience, and he remains deeply interested in the intersection of theological scholarship, ministry practice, and contemporary culture.
