About the Chesterton Institute
For a half-century, the G. K. Chesterton Institute for Faith and Culture based at
Seton Hall University, has worked to promote the thought G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)
and his circle and, more broadly, has explored the application of Chestertonian ideas
in the contemporary world. The Institute’s work consists of conferences, lecture series,
research and writing.
Chesterton was a multifaceted figure, and so is our work. He was one of the most versatile writers of his day and his ability to write on serious matters in a style accessible to the ordinary reader, made him one of the most beloved figures in the twentieth century. His thought has particular importance for those who value the sacramental tradition and Catholic social teaching and Christian spirituality. His works have been translated into many languages and because his writings are increasingly the subject of study by students and scholars, they continue to reach new generations of readers.
In the words of our Founder, Father Ian Boyd,
The Chesterton Institute has had a key role in the Chesterton revival around the world. He is being rediscovered and introduced to new generations. Our work, through our programs and projects, and our highly praised journal, The Chesterton Review is present in a larger world beyond our home. Our outreach is global.
