Born
The United States
Website

Member Since
March 2014


Matthew grew up in a family of 15 children and completed his medical training in Baltimore, Maryland. He wrote a sci-fi Christian romance novel at age 12 (kind of a Star Wars meets Gilbert Morris thing) but has subsequently pivoted to primarily writing nonfiction about health, theology, medicine, culture, politics, and games.

Since 2015, Matthew and his family have lived in East Africa, where he currently teaches and practices Family Medicine at a mission hospital. His work has appeared in outlets such as The New York Times, The Atlantic, The New Atlantis, Comment, Christianity Today, and Mere Orthodoxy. He is the 2025 recipient of Trinity Forum's Michael J. Gerson Prize for Excellence in Writing on Faith and Public Life.

Resisting Therapy Culture by Matthew Loftus
" I really enjoyed this book, but as it went on, I questioned its usefulness. My criticism boils down to the fact that I don’t think it is robust enough to convert anyone to his point of view. While I personally agree with him, I suspect most people d" Read more of this review »
