Ryan
Murphy, assistant professor of Christian thought and social ethics at Colorado
Christian University, received notification that his dissertation has been
accepted by King's College, London. Murphy is now a Doctor of Philosophy in
Systematic Theology, conferred by the Academic Board in accordance with the
Ordinances of the University of London and the Statutes of King's College
London.
Murphy currently teaches within the
School of Theology at CCU, after
previous stops at Westmont and Azusa Pacific. He received his M.A. in
Systematic Theology from Regent College, and also previously served as a
Calihan Fellow for the Acton Institute of Study of Religion and Liberty. Very
active in relief and development work during his teens and twenties, Murphy
states that his passions continue to be "expressing Christianity in a global
manner that effectively engages social, political, and economic issues in both
urban and global contexts."
King's College London is one of the top
30 universities in the world (2011-12 QS International World Rankings), the
Sunday Times 'University of the Year' for 2010-11, and the fourth oldest in
England. It has nearly 23,500 students, including almost 9000 graduate
