Dr. David Bentley Hart is an author. To call him anything else, I found, gets a little tricky. He expressed to me in our conversation, for example, not really enjoying the title of theologian, though many might call him that. Similarly, others might try to categorize him as Orthodox, although again, he tells me he has little interest nowadays in orthodoxy, regardless of whether or not you capitalize the O.
The problem of trying to introduce someone like David Bentley Hart reminds me of the Whitman line: “I contain multitudes.” Having now just spoken with him, I can’t think of a better introduction.
And so I give you, Dr. David Bentley Hart.
