The Ciceronian Society is an international community of Christian scholars and public intellectuals committed to restoring such a “liturgy” through the examination of three core themes – tradition, place, and ‘things divine’ – and their role in the cultivation of a civilization built upon the principles common to the traditions of historic Christianity.
Over the last decade, the Ciceronian Society has been known for its interdisciplinary community of scholars and intellectuals distinguished by their friendship and willingness to consider ideas, thinkers, and interests neglected by most academic publications and organizations in the humanities, social sciences, and economics.
