Orthodoxy: The Beloved Christian Masterpiece

Description

Part spiritual autobiography, part apologetics, Orthodoxy is G.K. Chesterton's account of his own journey to faith. Chesterton didn't set out to write a defense of Christian thought, instead he hoped to recount how he personally came to faith. However, in doing so, he penned one of the great classics of Christian writing, a book that has influenced countless people and continues to speak compellingly to our modern day. Chesterton writes about his journey of faith with wit, charm, and a razor-sharp intellect, undermining casual assumptions and lazy speculations in a relentless search for truth and meaning. Orthodoxy is the latest title in the Essential Wisdom Library, a series of books that seeks to bring spiritual wisdom-both modern and ancient-to today's readers. Featuring a foreword by Jon Sweeney, this new edition of the classic text is a must read for seekers and believers alike.

G.K. CHESTERTON was an English writer, philosopher, and theologian who lived and wrote at the turn of the 20th century.

Chesterton is best known for his creation of the priest-detective character Father Brown and for his book Orthodoxy which has become a classic of Christian writing.
