Gil Bailie

Gil Bailie is the founder and president of the Cornerstone Forum, an apostolate dedicated to calling attention to the unique cultural, spiritual, and anthropological significance of the Judeo-Christian tradition, the history-altering impact of the Christian revelation, and the growing challenges confronting the Christian vocation in our time. He is a member of the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars, the College of Fellows of the Dominican School of Philosophy & Theology, and a long-time friend and student of René Girard, whose work he explored in "Violence Unveiled: Humanity at the Crossroads" (1995), "God’s Gamble: The Gravitational Power of Crucified Love" (2016), and in his latest book, The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self: Recovering the Christian Mystery of Personhood (2023). Downloadable MP3 and audiobook recordings of many of the talks Mr. Bailie has given on the Western canon and the importance of the work of René Girard in assessing its importance are available on Amazon and on the Cornerstone Forum.
