Dave Hunt, born in 1926, is a Christian apologist, speaker, radio commentator and author. He has been in full-time ministry since 1973 with his organization, The Berean Call. Hunt has traveled to the Near East, lived in Egypt, and written numerous books on theology, prophecy, cults, and other religions, including controversial critiques of Catholicism, Islam, Mormonism, and Calvinism, among others. His books have sold over 4 million copies and have been translated into at least 20 languages.

Theologically, Hunt is evangelical, "progressively" dispensational, Arminian, and is associated with the Plymouth Brethren Movement.

Hunt addressed Calvinism in a book called What Love is This? Calvinism's Misrepresentation of God, published in 2002 and revised in 2004, which became one of his most controversial works. According to Calvinists, the book is inaccurate and misrepresents Calvinism, but Hunt asserts he is rather addressing its true nature and logical ends. His direct use of Calvinistic sources, particularly Charles Spurgeon, is disputed by Calvinists, who claim misrepresetation and selective quoting.

In A Woman Rides the Beast, he identifies the Roman Catholic Church as the Whore of Babylon from the prophecies in chapters 17 and 18 of the Book of Revelation, which has been a long-held tradition among many non-Catholic Christians and gained almost universal acceptance among the Reformers. Catholics, and even many modern-day evangelicals vehemently dispute this claim.
