Description

Professor Lucifer and a monk named Michael debate about rationalism and religion followed by even more heated interaction with an atheist Socialist named Turnbull. The symbolism of the title refers to a worldly and rationalist worldview represented by a ball or sphere, and the cross representing Christianity.

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.
