Second, he is the founder of Prager University ( @PragerU ) – the most viewed conservative video site in the world, with one billion views a year, more than half by people under the age of 35."

Third, he is a Renaissance Man. He is a New York Times bestselling author of nine books on subjects as varied as religion, happiness, morality, the left, Islamism, and America. He is a life-long theologian. His book, The Rational Bible, is the first volume of his five-volume commentary on the first five books of the Bible – rooted in his extensive knowledge of biblical Hebrew. It is currently the bestselling Bible commentary in America, and at publication was the #1 bestselling non-fiction book in the United States.
He periodically conducts symphony orchestras, including twice at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, where he most recently conducted the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. He has travelled to more than 130 countries and has lectured on all the world’s continents.
An expert on communism, the Middle East, and the left, he did his graduate work at the Russian and Middle East Institutes of the Columbia University School of International Affairs. He taught Russian and Jewish history at Brooklyn College.
Dennis is known for his clarity. The motto of his show is, “I prefer clarity to agreement.”
