The Whitley Lecture was first established in 1949 in honour of W. T. Whitley (1861-1947). The annual lecture is designed as an encouragement to research and writing by Baptist scholars, and to enable the results of their work to be published.
Since 2011 the Centre for Baptist Studies has been responsible for this publication on behalf of the Whitley Committee.
