Bio
Anthony Bradley, PhD serves as a distinguished research fellow at The Acton Institute and Research Professor of Interdisciplinary and Theological Studies at Kuyper College. He was most recently professor of religious studies and director of the Center for the Study of Human Flourishing at The King’s College, Theologian-In-Residence at Redeemer Presbyterian Church—Lincoln Square.
Dr. Anthony B. Bradley is a theologian, author, and cultural analyst whose work centers on rebuilding fatherhood, reforming fraternity culture, and restoring moral formation among men and boys. He lectures at colleges, universities, business organizations, conferences, and churches across the United States and abroad, equipping institutions to address what he calls “America’s boy-to-man crisis” through faith, community, and evidence-based programs.
His writings on religion, culture, and society have appeared in Christianity Today, World Magazine, The Washington Examiner, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Detroit News, and Al Jazeera.
A frequent commentator in national media, Dr. Bradley has been featured on C-SPAN, CNN/Headline News, Fox News, and NPR, offering data-driven insight into issues surrounding fatherlessness, fraternity reform, criminal justice, education policy, poverty, race, and faith in public life.
Dr. Bradley’s research and teaching explore how theology and social science together can renew the institutions that form men—fathers, fraternities, and churches—so that communities may flourish once again.
One-liner:
Anthony B. Bradley, PhD helps institutions reverse the boy-to-man collapse by fixing fatherhood and fraternity culture with data, theology, and field-tested programs and pursue justice through personalism.
Four pillars:
Fatherhood as public health (outcomes, policy, church praxis)
Fraternities → heroic brotherhood (a replicable campus model)
Local church & civil society (how ministries disciple men effectively)
Personalism (keeping the human person at center)
Signature promise:
“If you give me one year, I’ll raise flourishing metrics on your campus/church by with a data-driven unique playbook.”
