Social critic Michael Eric Dyson wrote in 2021: "Gary Dorrien is the greatest theological ethicist of the twenty-first century, our most compelling political theologian, and one of the most gifted historians of ideas in the world." Philosopher Cornel West describes Dorrien as "the preeminent social ethicist in North America today." Philosopher Robert Neville calls him "the most rigorous theological historian of our time, moving from analyses of social context and personal struggles through the most abstruse theological and metaphysical issues." Dorrien told an interviewer in 2016: "I am a jock who began as a solidarity activist, became an Episcopal cleric at thirty, became an academic at thirty-five, and never quite settled on a field, so now I explore the intersections of too many fields."
