In this edition of the Reading Wheel Review, Dr. Jordan Ballor, executive director of First Liberty’s Center for Religion, Culture, and Democracy, interviews Dr. Matthew Spalding, the Kirby Professor in Constitutional Government and the Dean of the Van Andel Graduate School of Government at Hillsdale College’s Washington, D.C., campus. Their discussion focuses on Dr. Spalding’s book, The Making of the American Mind: The Story of Our Declaration of Independence. Their conversation examines the formation, argument, and significance of that revolutionary text from 1776, whose 250th anniversary we celebrate this year.
