Welcome to Anselm House, my sporadic newsletter where you can eavesdrop while I research and write my Systematic Theology for Baker Academic. -Matthew Barrett


Dr. Matthew Barrett is the founder and editor-in-chief of Credo Magazine and host of the Credo podcast. He is also the Director of the Center for Classical Theology. He is Research Professor of Christian Theology at Trinity Anglican Seminary. Dr. Barrett and his family worship at St. Aidan's Anglican Church where he leads theological formation.

Currently, he is writing a Systematic Theology with Baker Academic which you can read about in his regular newsletter (subscribe here). He is the author of numerous books, such as Simply Trinity: The Unmanipulated Father, Son, and Spirit (Baker), which won the Christianity Today Award in Theology. His new book is called The Reformation as Renewal: Retrieving the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church (Zondervan Academic). He is also the editor of the new book, On Classical Trinitarianism (IVP Academic), which won the TGC book of the year award in theological studies.

He hosts a regular gathering called Anselm House, which brings together pastors, students, and churchgoers. In the spirit of faith seeking understanding, they read a classical text out loud and participate in Socratic dialogue, all with the aim of contemplating the deep things of God and enjoying communion with him. Dr. Barrett is passionate about the retrieval of classical theology and loves nothing more than seeing his students embrace and embody its spirit of faith seeking understanding (fides quaerens intellectum). He is a theologian with a pastor’s heart, always eager to demonstrate how doctrine leads to discipleship and doxology.

He is married to Elizabeth and they have four children. They love Kansas City, especially rooting for the Chiefs. As a native of Los Angeles and alumni of Biola University, he is also a diehard Lakers and Dodgers fan.
