Rev. Dr. Peter A. Lillback is a theologian, historian, and cultural commentator whose work brings faith and history together in vivid conversation. As president of Westminster Theological Seminary and founder of The Providence Forum, he has devoted his career to exploring how divine providence shapes the moral and spiritual foundations of human civilization—especially the American experiment in liberty.

His best-selling work, George Washington’s Sacred Fire, is the result of over two decades of primary-source research. The book restores America’s first president’s own words and devotions to public memory, revealing a leader whose life was guided by Scripture, prayer, and moral conviction. It has become a touchstone for readers who love history, faith, and America’s founding ideals.

Dr. Lillback has appeared on national media outlets including Fox News, C-SPAN, and The Glenn Beck Program, and his voice has been featured in classrooms, churches, and conferences worldwide. His message resonates with a diverse audience—pastors and patriots, educators and students, historians and believers—who seek to understand America’s story through the lens of divine purpose.

Dr. Lillback holds degrees from Cedarville University, Dallas Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary, where he also teaches historical theology and church history. Also, with numerous books and articles in the area of theological studies, Dr. Lillback continues to inspire a generation of readers to think deeply about faith, freedom, and the enduring influence of providence in history.
