Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture, was founded in 1974 by Fr. Ian Boyd, CSB and is based at Seton Hall University. The purpose of the Institute is to promote the thought of G.K. Chesterton and his circle and, more broadly, to explore the application of Chestertonian ideas in the contemporary world. Chesterton's call for a deepened moral and social imagination speaks loudly to the cultural crises of our own time. The Institute's work consists of conferences, lecture series, research and writing. It is responsible for the publication of its journal "The Chesterton Review," a widely respected Journal. In addition, the Institute promotes Chestertonian thinking through television, radio, the press, and the stage. The Chesterton Review publishes two double issues per year in English and one annual issue in Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian

New Podcast of our "5 Questions Series" released today: “A conversation with Lara Bersano about the upcoming seminar on ‘Ethics & Values in the Era of AI,’” which is co-sponsored by the Chesterton Institute.

The “5 Questions” is a short format series of conversations with distinguished guests hosted by Gloria Garafulich-Grabois, director of the G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture.

This episode is a conversation with Lara Bersano, executive director of the International Academy of Catholic Leaders, an organization that offers a variety of programs designed to train leaders committed to the common good from a Christian perspective. The vision of the academic is to form a new generation of leaders with social responsibilities. Among her impressive trajectory, she has also published several books on the topic of Artificial Intelligence.

On October 24, 2026, Seton Hall University and the Academy will be partnering once again to offer our second seminar guided on Pope Leo XIX’s encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas.” The seminar will address the topic of “Ethics and Values in the era of AI—with perspectives from Education, Finance and Healthcare.”

On the day of Archbishop Fulton Sheen's beatification, the G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture invites you to listen to episode #24 of our podcast "Speaking about Chesterton."

The episode "G.K. Chesterton & Archbishop Fulton Sheen" is a conversation with Professor Edmund Lazzari, Assistant Professor of Catholic Studies at Duquesne University, and researcher specializing in Archbishop Fulton Sheen.

Listen to episode here: https://readinggkchesterton.podbean.com/e/episode-24-gk-chesterton-and-archbishop-fulton-sheen/

Chesterton was a great influence in Sheen’s literary and intellectual work, shaping his style to the use of paradox and his approach to Catholic apologetics. Sheen asked Chesterton to write the Preface to his first book “God and Intelligence in Modern Philosophy,” published in 1925.

Both, Chesterton and Sheen are considered to be “Defenders of the Faith.”
