Gavin Ortlund es teólogo, pastor y autor especializado en teología histórica, pensamiento protestante y apologética cristiana. Obtuvo un doctorado en el Seminario Teológico Fuller y ha escrito varios libros, entre ellos "Finding the Right Hills to Die On", "Theological Retrieval for Evangelicals" y "Anselm's Pursuit of Joy". Sus obras más recientes, como "Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn't" y "What It Means to Be Protestant", exploran la coherencia intelectual de la fe cristiana y las particularidades de la teología de la Reforma.
La carrera académica y pastoral de Ortlund refleja su compromiso por tender un puente entre la erudición teológica y el ministerio práctico. Ha sido investigador asociado del Creation Project en Trinity Evangelical Divinity School y actualmente es presidente de Truth Unites, profesor visitante de Teología Histórica en Phoenix Seminary y teólogo residente en Immanuel Church. Sus escritos suelen dialogar con figuras históricas como Anselmo de Canterbury al mismo tiempo que abordan debates teológicos contemporáneos, destacando por su claridad, profundidad histórica y sensibilidad pastoral.
Además de su labor académica, Ortlund se desempeña como pastor principal de First Baptist Church of Ojai en California. Él y su esposa, Esther, tienen cinco hijos. Sus contribuciones a la teología evangélica continúan tanto a través de sus obras publicadas como de su liderazgo en contextos eclesiásticos y académicos.
