Rupert Shortt is a British author, biographer and journalist.
He is known for writing about the modern persecution of Christians around the world,[1] including in his book Christianophobia: A Faith Under Attack,[2][3] and for a series of works defending the coherence of classical theism in general and a Christian world view in particular.
[4] Rowan Williams wrote that Shortt's book God Is No Thing: Coherent Christianity "deserves a place alongside the best intelligent responses to the New Atheism.
"[5] Shortt is a research associate at the Von Hugel Institute, University of Cambridge[6] and was religion editor of The Times Literary Supplement from 2000 to 2020.
