His research explores the interaction of science and religion, the significance of Richard Dawkins' "new atheism" for Christian apologetics, and the renewal of natural theology. He also examines the theology of ministry and the intellectual world of C.S. Lewis, bridging historical analysis with contemporary cultural challenges.
McGrath's recent publications reveal consistent thematic focus: biographical studies of C.S. Lewis dominate his book output, while articles critically engage European secularization and atheism's societal impact. His work spans theological doctrine, healthcare spirituality, and sociological analysis of religious decline.
He has supervised 10 students and secured major research funding, including the John Templeton Foundation's "Paley project" on science-religion dialogue and an MRC-funded stroke resilience study examining mental health interventions.
