David Bentley Hart is a philosopher, theologian, writer, and cultural commentator who has taught at the University of Virginia, Duke University, and the University of Notre Dame.

ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Awards, Honorable Mention, Philosophy (2006) Publishers Weekly "Writing in a sophisticated, academic style -- highlighting the philosophical and theological writings of Voltaire, Aquinas, Dostoyevsky, and Calvin -- Hart asks Christians to allow themselves to be moved and horrified by violence, natural or human-made, and, at the same time, to acknowledge that God can and someday will bring about the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. It's an eloquent and persuasive stance." The Christian Science Monitor "The Doors of the Sea is timely, eloquent, and unfashionable. Its arguments are missing from public debate -- perhaps with tragic results." The Christian Century "A moving inquiry into the question of evil, one likely to be a classic. Hart defends the ancient Christian descriptions of evil as nonbeing and of God as immutable, saying that they offer the most theologically coherent and existentially satisfactory account of evil."
