Darryl G. Hart (born 1956) is an American religious and social historian.
[1] He previously served as dean of academic affairs at Westminster Seminary California from 2000 to 2003,[2] taught church history and served as librarian at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, directed the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals at Wheaton College, and was Director of Partnered Projects, Academic Programs, and Faculty Development at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute in Wilmington, Delaware.
[3] Reviewer John Hesselink states that Hart's Calvinism: A History (2013) compares favorably with the 1954 classic The history and character of Calvinism (1954) by John T. McNeil: In a Wall Street Journal review of Calvinism: A History, Barton Swaim describes him as, "a cantankerous conservative, a stalwart Presbyterian and a talented polemicist with a delightfully perverse sense of humor.
[6] Hart follows in the tradition of J. Gresham Machen (to whom he dedicated his book Secular Faith) in espousing an approach to politics that engages at the level of the individual rather than that of the church.
[8] In 1998 Christianity Today described him as "the prolific writer-librarian at Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia".
