Orthodoxy (Chesterton - Canon ed.)

Author: G. K. Chesterton

ISBN: 9781952410482

Binding: paperback

Section: Christianity-General

In this brilliant book, the enormously fat and jolly G. K. Chesterton gives a stirring defense of Christianity. We usually think of orthodoxy and the tenets of the Christian faith as dry, arbitrary, and perhaps even nonsensical, but Chesterton shows that orthodoxy is beautiful and fits perfectly this strange, quirky world. For those of us who do not pay any attention to the strangeness of the world, this book is essential reading. The world may not have fairies, but it does have the sun, rivers, trees, and the sky, and they are as strange as anything we will find in a fairy tale.
