Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English journalist, poet, biographer, historian, debater, radio personality, and novelist. One of the literary giants of the twentieth century, Chesterton constantly participated in public life, debating George Bernard Shaw and H.G. Wells, and maintaining on-going witty arguments with leading journalists and critics of his time. He is the author of more than 100 books on a wide variety of subjects; he is best known for his much-loved Father Brown series of detective stories and this apologetic classic.
"Whenever I feel my faith going dry again, I wander to a shelf and
pick up a book by G.K. Chesterton."
--Philip Yancey, author of What's So Amazing About Grace? and The
Jesus I Never Knew
"My favorite on the list [of top 100 spiritual classics of the
twentieth century] is Chesterton's Orthodoxy. It offers wonderful
arguments for embracing religious traditions, but it also has humor
you don't typically find in religious writing."
--Philip Zaleski, author and journalist
Named by Publisher's Weekly as one of 10 "indispensable spiritual
classics" of the past 1500 years.
--Publisher?s Weekly
"Chesterton's most enduring book.... Charming."
--World
