Dale Ahlquist is President of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton. He is the creator and host of the EWTN television series, “The Apostle of Common Sense.” He is the author of eight books, the editor of sixteen more books, and Publisher of Gilbert magazine. 

Chesterton biographer Joseph Pearce has called Dale “probably the greatest living authority on the life and work of G.K. Chesterton.”

Dale has given more than 900 lectures at universities, conferences, and other institutions, including Yale, Columbia, Cornell, Notre Dame, Oxford, the Vatican Forum in Rome, and the House of Lords in London.

He is the co-founder of the first Chesterton Academy, a classical Catholic high school in Hopkins, Minnesota, which gave birth to the growing Chesterton Schools Network that now includes over 70 schools in the U.S. and nine other countries.
