Description

Evan MacIan and journalist Turnbull swear a duel over faith and unbelief, then are chased across England while every attempt to settle it is postponed. Lucifer's ship and monk Michael pull the quarrel into stranger weather. Ball and cross become two stubborn men who will not yield. Chesterton's comic epic of rationalism and Christianity hunting a place to fight.

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.
