DESCRIPTION

G.K. Chesterton was a journalist, playwright, poet, biographer, novelist, essayist, literary commentator, editor, orator, artist, and theologian. Orthodoxy is his great apologia for the Christian faith, which was prompted by a serious attack in 1903 against Christianity by well-known newspaper editor Robert Blatchford.

Published just five years later, Chesterson's famous reply took the form of an autobiographical account of his own indoctrination into the faith. Rather than attempt to explain how Christianity can be believed, he emphasizes what fulfillment in this life can come from believing. His argument is that people in western society need a life of "practical romance, the combination of something that is strange with something that is secure. We need so to view the world as to combine an idea of wonder and an idea of welcome."



REVIEWS

"[One of the ten] indispensable spiritual classics [of the past 1500 years]."—Publisher's Weekly

"As majestic and down-to-earth as C.S. Lewis at his best….It's hard to imagine a reader who will not close the book believing, at least for the moment, that the Church will make you free."—Amazon.com Review



GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON (1874-1936) published some 116 books which include compilations of his voluminous journalism, novels, biography, history, criticism, Christian apologetics, poetry, and two plays. Many of his novels have the genuine marks of genius. His books on Dickens (whom he had a considerable affinity with) and Saint Thomas Aquinas are considered classics in their fields. His approach to apologetics is completely unique. His work is characterized by tremendous zest and energy, with a mastery of paradox, a robust humour and forthright devotion.
