Professor Nicholas Lash Death | Passed Away | Obituary
Nicholas Lash Death – Dead: A great loss was made known to InsideEko. As friends and families of the deceased are mourning the passing of their loved and cherished Nicholas Lash.
Having heard about this great loss, the family of this individual is passing through pains, mourning the unexpected passing of their beloved.
This departure was confirmed through social media posts made by Twitter users who pour out tributes, and condolences to the family of the deceased.
With deep sadness, we announce the death early this morning of Professor Nicholas Lash, who had been struggling with illness for some time. From an army background, he became in 1978 the Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity at Cambridge – the first Catholic to serve in such a post since the Reformation.
Brilliant and imaginative, Professor Lash was the author of numerous theological books, and a regular contributor to theological journals. A loyal and obedient Roman Catholic, we were proud to host his reception of a Papal Knighthood at Fisher House in May 2017. He and his wife Jan were stalwarts of the chaplaincy and Margaret Beaufort Institute, and among our most beloved members.
May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
We pray for the repose of the soul of Professor Nicholas Lash who died this morning. A great friend and supporter of the Margaret Beaufort Institute. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. Our prayers too for Jan and family.
(We have created the Lash Library from books which he gave us).
We are sorry to report the news that Professor Nicholas Lash, the Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity from 1978-1999, died in the early morning. He was a lively intellectual presence in the Faculty, author of many books, and a prominent theological influence in the Roman Catholic Church. He was awarded a Papal Knighthood in 2017.
Just found out that the great man Nicholas Lash has passed away this morning in Cambridge.
A truly faithful scholar whose work was the site of the biggest breakthrough in mine. A God-fearing, Christ-honouring saint – formidable in intellect yet humble of spirit.
Requiem æternam dona ei, Domine.
RIP, Nicholas Lash, 1934-2020: “The knowledge of God is knowledge of incomprehensible mystery, of a God whose presence is felt as absence. And if this seems a curious description of our knowledge of God, then I would refer you to Gethsemane and Calvary.”

Professor Nicholas Lash was my teacher and supervisor at Cambridge. A great storyteller, suffered no fools, was a generous and formidable thinker, and taught me how to listen and ask critical questions. May God keep his soul.

Nicholas Lash has died; the first Catholic to be Hulsean Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge since the Reformation. Kind, amusing, generous, gracious, and a joy to listen to whatever he was talking about. May light perpetual shine upon him.

RIP to Nicholas Lash, a remarkable theologian who, apart from helping me think through the connection between theology and language, once wrote this absolutely legendary essay opening: “In this short paper, I am going to be rude about John Milbank.”
