My Take
David Bentley Hart fascinates me as one of the rare contemporary thinkers who treats prose as a moral act. Twenty-four books and over a thousand essays is not output, it is a vocation. What I find most compelling is that his Eastern Orthodoxy was chosen, not inherited; raised Anglican, he converted at twenty-one, which signals a faith argued into rather than absorbed. His writing can be famously dense, even combative, yet beneath the rhetoric there is something close to devotion. In an age of glib opinion, I respect a scholar willing to wrestle seriously with the hardest subject of all.
