About Christian

Greetings! My name is Christian B. Miller, and I live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with my amazing wife and three children. I have been incredibly fortunate to spend the last twenty years at Wake Forest University, where I am now the A. C. Reid Professor of Philosophy. My research primarily has to do with virtue and moral character, and for ten years I was the leader of The Character Project and The Honesty Project, two of the largest research projects in the world on these topics. In addition to my academic writings, I have published a trade book, The Character Gap: How Good Are We?, am a science contributor for Forbes, and have written for The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Dallas Morning News, Slate, The Conversation, Newsweek, Aeon, and Christianity Today.
