Description

In "Orthodoxy," G. K. Chesterton presents a defense of Christian faith. Writing with his trademark wit and paradox, he treats orthodoxy not as a rigid cage, but as a thrilling philosophy that answers the riddles of human existence. Chesterton shares his personal journey from skepticism to belief, showing that the wildest fairy tales contain the ultimate truths. It is a masterpiece of Christian apologetics for anyone seeking meaning.

Author

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer, often referred to as the prince of paradox. Chesterton is well known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and for his reasoned apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognized the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton's wit, paradoxical style, and defence of tradition made him a dominant figure in early 20th-century literature.
