| About the New Issue --
This is the first issue of The Chesterton Review to appear since the death in January of its founding editor, Father Ian Boyd. Father Boyd’s legacy will be considered in greater detail in our next issue, which will also celebrate, with appropriate gratitude, the fiftieth anniversary of the Review itself. Father Boyd had much looked forward to those celebrations and it is a matter of obvious sadness that he did not live to see them. His absence, though, is a kind of presence—a reminder that, without his extravagant gifts of mind and heart, this journal would never have come into being fifty years ago nor have survived the vicissitudes of the half century since. He wanted it to be marked by scholarly seriousness, elegant writing, lively debate, and astringent humour. For lack of a better word, he wanted The Chesterton Review to be Chestertonian. What he got was something more—a periodical that reflected not only Chesterton’s personality but his own. Father Ian was a superb scholar, an excellent writer, a delightful colleague, and a very good friend. If you detect some of these companionable qualities in the journal itself, say a prayer of thanks to him, for these things did not come about by accident. Father Boyd liked to quote Wordworth’s remark (it was something of a talisman for him) that every great writer must create the taste by which he is to be relished. The same holds true for editors, of whom he was surely one of the greatest. He created a taste that has been relished by readers for the last fifty years. If you require his monument, look around. --Dermot Quinn, editor

The 50th anniversary of the G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture
|
|

"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, for tomorrow and for the future."
—Father Ian Boyd
The vision of the work of the Institute has to do with making people aware of what is already present and that has been going on for 50 years.
The G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture has had and continues to have a key role in the Chesterton revival around the world—he is being rediscovered and introduced to new generations everywhere. The Institute through its work—lectures, conferences and publications is at the center of that work.
G. K. Chesterton, the leading Christian writer of the 20th century and the G. K. Chesterton Institute have a home at Seton Hall University, and, through our extensive outreach, in the larger world.
