Tripp York

Fred "Tripp" York (born 1973) is a professor of religion and a prolific Mennonite writer (B.A., Trevecca Nazarene University; M.T.S., Duke University; Ph.D., Garrett-Theological Seminary).[1] His writings span a wide range of subjects including: animals, martyrdom, politics, violence, and religious satire.

York belongs to the Mennonite tradition that has a 500 year history of Christian pacifism.[2] He has written extensively on the North American Christians' complicity with power and suggests a return to a more diasporic understanding of Christian practice.[3] He emphasizes the witness of Christian anarchists[4] such as Dorothy Day, and Daniel and Philip Berrigan.

His novella Anesthesia: A Brief Reflection on Contemporary Aesthetics attempts to reveal how contemporary accounts of love can only culminate in their own undoing.[5]

He teaches at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green .
