Tim Orr
Dr Tim Orr is a scholar of Islam and an Evangelical minister, whose work emphasises the theological, historical, and sociopolitical intersections between Christianity and Islam. He holds six academic degrees, including a Master’s in Islamic Studies from the Islamic College in London, where he studied under Shia Muslim scholars from Iran—an experience that deepened his interfaith understanding and shaped his analysis of Islamic theology and politics, particularly within the Iranian context. He recently began a PhD in Interreligious Studies at Hartford International University for Peace and Justice.
His research focuses on Islamic antisemitism, American Evangelicalism, Islamic feminism, and comparative theology between Christianity and Islam. Dr Orr has spoken at leading universities and Shia mosques throughout the UK on topics such as Christian-Muslim relations, Islamic theology, and Gospel-centred engagement with Islam, including Oxford University, Imperial College London, and the University of Tehran. He has also published in peer-reviewed Islamic academic journals. He is the author of five books, including his most recent, Grace and Truth: Paul, the Gospel, and The Challenge of Islam, which explores how the Apostle Paul's message of grace offers a compelling and biblically faithful response to the theological claims of Islam.
