About C. R. Wiley

C. R. Wiley’s childhood was like something out of a story by Roald Dahl.

It was full of vacancies. He was a ward of the state for a time. (Imagine living at the DMV and you have a sense of what that was like.) And he hated the 8th grade so much that he took it twice.

He has been a pastor (still is!), a college professor, a commercial real estate investor, a landlord (still that, too!), and a building contractor.

He has been happily married for over 41 years and he has three grown children and nine grandchildren (and counting). He resides in both the states of Washington and Connecticut.

He has written for Touchstone Magazine, Modern Reformation, Sacred Architecture, The Imaginative Conservative, Front Porch Republic, National Review, and First Things, among others. He also contributes to World Magazine’s on-line editorial page. His most recent book is, Manmade: St. Antony’s Guide to Surviving the AI Apocalypse. He is also the author of In the House of Tom Bombadil (2021) and, The Household and the War for the Cosmos (2019). His short fiction has been published by the Mythopoeic Society and elsewhere, and the first book in his young adult fantasy series, The Purloined Boy was published in 2017. He is a co-host of The Theology Pugcast (which has roughly 10,000 listeners in 60 countries each week), and Chris and Chris Talk Business. He is a member of the Academy of Philosophy and Letters, a board member of New Saint Andrews College, and a Senior Editor of Touchstone Magazine.
