The Very Rev. Thomas Banks Strong GBE (24 October 1861 – 8 July 1944) was an English theologian who was Bishop of Ripon and Oxford.[1] He was also Dean of Christ Church, Oxford and served as Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University during the First World War.[2]
Thomas Strong was educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford, where he received a 2nd class degree in Literae Humaniores in 1883.[3] He became a deacon in 1885 and a priest in 1886. At Christ Church, Strong was successively Lecturer (1884), Student (1888), Censor (1892), and then Dean (1901[4]–1920). He received the degree Doctor of Divinity (DD) from the University of Oxford in January 1902.[5]
In 1920 he was appointed Bishop of Ripon, and in 1925 he transferred as Bishop of Oxford, serving as such until 1937.
Strong produced a number of theological publications.[6][7][8] He became a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire (GBE) in 1918. He was buried at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, where there is a memorial stone with a Latin inscription.[9]
