Product Description

Orthodoxy as author G.K. Chesterton employs the term here, means "right opinion." In this, the masterpiece of his brilliant literary career, he applies the concept of correct reasoning to his acceptance of Christian faith. Written in a dawn-to-earth and familiar style, this book nevertheless presents formal, scholarly arguments. Paradox and contradiction, Chesterton maintains, do not constitute barriers to belief; imagination and intuition are as relevant to the process of thought and understanding as logic and rationality. He defines his insights with thought-provoking analogies, personal anecdotes, and engaging humor, making this century-old book a work of enduring charm and persuasion. Unabridged republication of the classic 1908 edition. Paperback, 154 pages. Dover Publications.

Publisher's Description

In his scintillating prose, one of the 20th century's great writers explains the values and ideals that constitute the foundation of Christianity. Chesterton adopts an informal style in his scholarly arguments in favor of faith as an affirmation of human freedom — with ample doses of analogy, imagery, personal anecdotes, and humor.

Orthodoxy 4.7 5 3 3

Chesterton's reasoning in "Orthodoxy" is still relevant today as it was back in his time. This book is a must read as is the book right before this one: Heretics. March 2, 2009

This book provide a lot of food for thought. My husband and I have read the book and have been viewing the EWTN "The Common Sense Apostle" - Chesterton. Orthodoxy is a wonderful presentation and just helps one to see things in a fresh way even though it was first written sometime ago. We got original version. August 5, 2008

Wow, it's about time GK Chesterton becomes 'rediscovered' by Christians. Reading Chesterton is like reading a little more hard-edged CS Lewis. For pastors and preachers in the Evangelical world don't let Chesterton's Roman Catholicism turn you away. Here is a man who knows how to think Christianly. It falls short of the 5 star only because some will definitely find his style hard to read. Not to mention this is a very affordable edition. July 4, 2007
