Oliver D. Crisp (born 1972) is a British theologian who currently works as Professor of Analytic Theology at the University of St Andrews, ^[2] and was formerly a professor of systematic theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California.

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.)
