Rupert Shortt

Rupert Shortt is a British author, biographer and journalist. He is known for writing about the modern persecution of Christians around the world, including in his book Christianophobia: A Faith Under Attack, and for a series of works defending the coherence of classical theism in general and a Christian world view in particular.

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."

Shortt is a Fellow Commoner of St Edmund's College, Cambridge and was religion editor of The Times Literary Supplement from 2000 to 2020.^{[citation needed]}
