Fred "Tripp" York is a religious studies scholar and Mennonite writer (B.A., Trevecca Nazarene University; M.T.S., Duke University; Ph.D., Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary).[1][2] His writings span a wide range of genres and subjects including: animals, martyrdom, politics, violence, religious satire and comics. His most popular work is his satirical search for Satan in The Devil Wears Nada.

He is the co-creator and co-editor of The Peaceable Kingdom Series.

York belongs to the Mennonite tradition that has a 500-year history of Christian pacifism.[3] He has written extensively on the North American Christians' complicity with power and suggests a return to a more diasporic understanding of Christian practice.[4] He emphasizes the lives of Christian anarchists[5] such as Dorothy Day, and Daniel and Philip Berrigan.

He teaches at Virginia Wesleyan College[6] in Norfolk, VA. He previously taught at Elon University and Western Kentucky University.
