Crisp was, until 2011, a reader in philosophical theology at Bristol University in the United Kingdom. He specializes in analytic theology, philosophical theology, and historical theology. His historical work focuses on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American Reformed theologians, including Jonathan Edwards and William Shedd. His constructive work has, to date, primarily been in the areas of Christology, soteriology, and hamartiology. Along with Michael Rea, Crisp has been involved in a rising trend among growing number of theologians known as analytic theology. As part of this ongoing initiative Crisp and Rea founded the Journal of Analytic Theology in 2013. [3]

Simultaneously, he worked with Fred Sanders to start the LA Theology Conference in 2013, completing the ninth conference in 2023.

Crisp earned his Bachelor of Divinity, Master of Theology, and Master of Laws degrees from the University of Aberdeen. He received his Doctor of Philosophy degree from King's College, London, in 2002. His thesis focused on the philosophical theology of Jonathan Edwards and was supervised by Paul Helm. [4] In 2016, Crisp was awarded a Doctor of Letters degree from the University of Aberdeen.[ citation needed ]

He is the author or editor of thirty eight books, and has written over a hundred articles, chapters, and essays in theology and philosophy. [5] The covers of Crisp's singly authored works often feature his own artwork. (See for example the cover of Deviant Calvinism.)

In Christianity, Christology, translated from Greek as 'the study of Christ', is a branch of theology that concerns Jesus. Different denominations have different opinions on questions such as whether Jesus was human, divine, or both, and as a messiah what his role would be in the freeing of the Jewish people from foreign rulers or in the prophesied Kingdom of God, and in the salvation from what would otherwise be the consequences of sin.

Systematic theology, or systematics, is a discipline of Christian theology that formulates an orderly, rational, and coherent account of the doctrines of the Christian faith. It addresses issues such as what the Bible teaches about certain topics or what is true about God and His universe. It also builds on biblical disciplines, church history, as well as biblical and historical theology. Systematic theology shares its systematic tasks with other disciplines such as constructive theology, dogmatics, ethics, apologetics, and philosophy of religion.

The extra Calvinisticum is the doctrine that the eternal Son's presence is not limited to his assumed human nature but he maintains his existence also beyond it perpetually, from the moment of His incarnation. The term extra Calvinisticum was initially used by Lutherans to refer to the use of this concept in Reformed theology. However, the concept is found in the writings of a wide range of pre-Reformation theologians including the church fathers.
