Synopsis "Orthodoxy (Moody Classics) "

In Orthodoxy, G.K. Chesterton's most enduring work, Chesterton argues that the drama and mystery of Christianity are sanity and that the naturalistic machinations of atheism are madness.We've all heard common reactions to orthodox Christian belief: Antiquated. Unimaginative. Repressive. Even Christians themselves are guilty of discarding. As Charles Colson writes in the forward, "Evangelicals, despite their professed belief in the Bible, have not been exempt from the influence of the postmodern spirit."This postmodern spirit is averse to Truth and the obedience that follows. People today, as in Chesterton's day, continue to look anywhere but heavenward for something to believe in.Chesterton tells us why we simply must look heavenward, and why we'll be glad we did.

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.
