As Augustine cogently noted, "Moral character is not assessed by what a man knows, but by what he loves." And while ideas have consequences, people change cultures. Accordingly, ADF extends Blackstone faculty invitations only to a select "dream team" of well-formed scholarly professors, jurists, and practitioners who fit and exemplify these rigorous, though timeless, criteria. These 40+ men and women instruct not simply by their lectures, their writings, and their resumes, but by their very lives - lives joyfully and challengingly imparted during Blackstone to the next generation of leaders in law and policy. In this way, iron truly sharpens iron.
