Jenny Leith

Jenny Leith is Lecturer in Christian Ethics at Westcott House, Cambridge. She began her graduate studies at King’s College London and went on to complete her PhD in political theology at Durham University. This research formed the basis of her first monograph, Political Formation: Being Formed by the Spirit in Church and World (SCM Press, 2023). Her interest in the relationship between Christian faith and participation in political life grew out of several years spent working as a parliamentary researcher and in social policy. Her research continues to be shaped by this experience, bringing together spirituality, political theory, and ecclesiology. Along the way, she has served as Director of Studies at the Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide, and has taught at King’s College London, Lindisfarne College of Theology, the College of the Resurrection (Mirfield), and Sarum College.
