Nigel Biggar

Nigel Biggar is a British Anglican priest, theologian, and ethicist who served for many years as Oxford’s Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology. His public work spans Christian ethics, war, nationhood, free speech, and the moral assessment of empire, making him a prominent and often controversial figure in debates about history, religion, and public morality. Biggar’s debate style tends to be formal, historically grounded, and unapologetically normative, with a strong emphasis on moral reasoning rather than purely procedural argument.
