Paul Williams is behind the hugely influential ‘Blogging Theology’ social media platforms (primarily YouTube). A former evangelical Christian, Williams converted to Islam and began engaging in debates with people of differing creeds. His YouTube channel invites scholars and intellectuals to discuss their various areas of expertise. His own nuanced analysis, as well as his polite and sincere manner in understanding and presenting other views, have enabled him to build a significant following. In 2024, Williams founded Blogging Theology Academy in collaboration with philosopher and author Hasan Spiker. This online learning platform offers instruction in both the Islamic and Western philosophical and theological traditions via its flagship Advanced Diploma in the Western Tradition and Islamic Philosophy and Theology, as well as a growing array of short courses, in a variety of areas of Muslim interest.
