This month, Robert Reilly, author of America on Trial, defends the Founding Fathers against contemporary critics who say that their experiment in republic government was based on Enlightenment thinking— and thus on a rejection of Christianity. On the contrary, Reilly maintains, the Founding was based on philosophical principles that harken back to ancient Greece and Jerusalem: principles that were further developed by Catholic thinkers in the Middle Ages.

Robert R. Reilly is Director of the Westminster Institute. He has been on the board since its founding. In his 25 years of government service, he has taught at National Defense University (2007), and served in the Office of The Secretary of Defense, where he was Senior Advisor for Information Strategy (2002-2006). He participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 as Senior Advisor to the Iraqi Ministry of information. Before that, he was director of the Voice of America, where he had worked the prior decade. Mr. Reilly served in the White House as a Special Assistant to the President (1983-1985), and in the U.S. Information Agency both in D.C. and abroad. In the private sector, he spent more than seven years with the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, as both national director and then president. He was on active duty as an armored cavalry officer for two years, and attended Georgetown University and the Claremont Graduate University. He has published widely on foreign policy, the “war of ideas”, and classical music.
