Imagining a world with leaders rooted in Chestertonian ideals–50 years of the Chesterton Institute

2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture and its journal, The Chesterton Review

“The effect of the work of the Institute is cumulative; it builds on the past, and we think in terms of the future. Our work is immensely relevant for today and tomorrow.” —Father Ian Boyd, Founder and President Emeritus

 

For 50 years, the Chesterton Institute has had a key role in the Chesterton revival around the world—Chesterton is being rediscovered and introduced to new generations in every continent. Through our work–lectures, conferences and publications–the Institute has been, is and will continue to be at the center of this revival.

G.K. Chesterton, the leading Christian writer of the twentieth century, and the Chesterton Institute have a home at Seton Hall University, and through our extensive outreach, in the larger world.

In just a few short days, the Chesterton Institute will announce the launch of its 50th anniversary webpage that celebrates the Institute’s history, mission, outreach of its work and its  journal The Chesterton Review, and the commitment to continue its valuable research and writing on important topics like global Christian traditions and Catholic social teaching for years to come and support the Catholic Intellectual Tradition that is at the center of the mission of Seton Hal University.
