The Chesterton Review

The Journal of the G. K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture

Ian Boyd, C.S.B., Founding Editor
Dermot Quinn, Editor

The Chesterton Review is devoted to exploring the life, work, and ideas of G. K. Chesterton, the prolific English writer and religious thinker. Established in 1974, this journal has been widely praised for its scholarship and the quality of its writing. It publishes two double issues per year, with special issues sometimes dedicated to particular topics. Past issues have explored the work of writers such as C. S. Lewis, Christopher Dawson, Charles Dickens, and George Grant, who share something of the Chestertonian romance with “orthodoxy.” Elegantly produced, The Chesterton Review is the journal of the G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture.
