Matthew Burden is the author of more than a dozen books across several different genres (poetry, pastoral theology, fiction, memoir, historical missiology). He is active in publishing and presenting in academic venues, particularly in the fields of church history, patristics, and biblical theology. He holds a PhD in theology and advanced degrees in history and divinity. His interests include birding, writing original hymns, classic Christian literature, apologetics, and global Christianity.
