George, which features essays from a variety of Protestant scholars on Professor George and the importance of his contributions to the field of natural law. Andrew T. Walker is associate professor of Christian Ethics at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and an associate dean in their School of Theology. He also serves as the executive director of the Carl F. H. Henry Institute for Evangelical Engagement, as Managing Editor of WORLD opinions, and as a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

Peter and Susannah have a long conversation with Professor Robert P. George of Princeton University. A veteran of the pro-life movement, Robert P. George reflects on the opportunity that we now have to build just laws that support the wellbeing of mothers and their children, and, echoing Lincoln, of the need to heal the division between pro-life and pro-choice Americans as much as possible, without compromising on what we believe to be right. He discusses his thoughts about the non-libertarian future of pro-life politics, and the need for supporting both private and public aid to mothers and families. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Heritage Foundation's B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies is honored to announce that Professor Robert P. George will deliver our 2022 Russell Kirk Lecture, for his speech titled, Natural Law and the Recovery of Human Freedom.The namesake of the lecture—famed scholar Russell Kirk—was a pillar of the conservative movement, bringing like-minded individuals under the very name conservative. Through his well-known books, The Conservative Mind and The Roots of American Order, Kirk provided a philosophical foundation for the conservative movement.Helping to establish the influential publications, National Review and Modern Age, Kirk strove to consolidate a rich, academic bedrock for conservatives, developing the six canons of conservatism, which defined the tenets of the movement.Following the path of America's greatest conservative intellectual, the Russell Kirk Lecture series recognizes those individuals who exemplify Kirk's commitment to conservative scholarship.Previous Russell Kirk Lectures have been delivered by Roger Scruton, Shelby Steele, George Nash, Robert Reilly, David Goldman, Roger Kimball, and Gary Saul Morson.

In his new book Religious Liberty in Crisis: Exercising Your Faith in an Age of Uncertainty, former U.S. Solicitor General Ken Starr explores the contemporary relationship between government, constitutional law, and religious freedom. Judge Starr is joined by Professor Robert P. George, Princeton's McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, to discuss the book and related matters. Featuring:-- Hon. Kenneth W. Starr, U.S. Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit (1983-1989); U.S. Solicitor General (1989-1993)-- Moderator: Prof. Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence; Director, James Madison Program, Princeton University
I had a chance to talk with Professor Robert P. George of Princeton University. Professor George is a highly respected and sought after expert on legal and cultural issues. In a recent Twitter thread, he described conversations he had with a number of academics who are concerned about their careers if the Woke crowd picks up on any public comments they make. Professor George and I discuss this problem and why people of goodwill need to stand together against progressive censorship. Academic institutions have been under attack for decades. As far back as the early 20th Century, progressive and Marxist efforts to control the Academy have been underway. But, in recent decades, academic freedom and the free exchange of ideas have been nearly shut down. Why is this happening? What is the effect upon our present public debate? Can we successfully oppose this assault on the First Amendment and our basic freedoms? Professor George answers these questions. Robert P. George is McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University. He is the co-author of the Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience. He and his friend Harvard Professor Cornell West have been promoting a statement on "Truth Seeking, Democracy, and Freedom of Thought and Expression" to shed light on the attacks against the pursuit of knowledge and free expression.
