Although G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) is often known for his wit, a characteristic that earned him the nickname “Prince of Paradox,” it would do a disservice to the prolific writer to mention just one aspect of his work. In fact, Chesterton is still read heavily in subject matter as diverse as philosophy, ontology, poetry, journalism, biographies, and mysteries. In addition to writing for papers, Chesterton wrote dozens of books, hundreds of poems and short stories, some plays, and thousands of essays in his 62 years of life. He produced seminal religious works such as Orthodoxy, as well as the biographical Charles Dickens: A Critical Study.
One of the most famous studies of Christianity, Chesterton published Orthodoxy in 1908 as a companion to Heretics. Orthodoxy looks at the central basis of Christianity, and the role it plays in Christians' lives as both a need and a moral compass. Chesterton said the book's purpose was to "attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian faith can be believed, but of how he personally came to believe it."
This edition of Chesterton’s Orthodoxy is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with pictures of Chesterton.
