Synopsis "Orthodoxy"

The Christian Classic ORTHODOXY by G.K. Chesterton A self-described agnostic in his youth, Chesterton reveals how he came to believe in the Christianity message. As he describes in his preface to the book: "It is the purpose of the writer to attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian Faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it. The book is therefore arranged upon the positive principle of a riddle and its answer. It deals first with all the writer's own solitary and sincere speculations and then with all the startling style in which they were all suddenly satisfied by the Christian Theology." In Orthodoxy, G.K. Chesterton applies his prodigious intellect to dismantle modern thought and expose it for its utter emptiness.

G. K. Chesterton (London, May 29, 1874 – Beaconsfield, June 14, 1936) was a prolific British writer, author of essays, novels, poetry, biographies, and Christian apologetics. His work is characterized by irony, paradoxical wit, and a critical view of modernity. He was a prominent convert to Catholicism and an influential figure in religious and literary thought of his time. He is also known for his brilliant argumentative style and his defense of common sense.

Among his most recognized works are The Man Who Was Thursday (1908), Orthodoxy (1908), The Innocence of Father Brown (1911), Heretics (1905), The Ball and the Cross (1909), and The Resurrection of Rome (1930). He cultivated the essay, the novel of ideas, detective stories, and social and religious criticism.
