Matthew D. Taylor is a senior scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies in Baltimore, where he specializes in Evangelical and Pentecostal movements, religious politics in the US, Muslim-Christian dialogue, and American Islam. He holds a PhD in Religious Studies from Georgetown University and an MA in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. His first book, Scripture People: Salafi Muslims in Evangelical Christians’ America (Cambridge University Press, 2023), offers an introduction to the oft-misunderstood Salafi movement in the U.S. by way of comparison with American Evangelicalism. Taylor's second book, The Violent Take It By Force: The Christian Movement that is Threatening Our Democracy (Broadleaf, 2024) tracks the growth of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement and shows how the NAR leaders became the vanguard of Christian supporters of Donald Trump, even playing a direct role in the January 6 Capitol Riot.
