Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) has been called "the ablest and most exuberant proponent of orthodox Christianity of his time." In this captivating classic, Chesterton offers a unique explanation of the essentials of the Christian faith, and of his own journey from scepticism to belief. Since its first publication in 1908, Orthodoxy has been a powerful factor in the conversion and spirituality of many leading Christian thinkers, including C S Lewis and Philip Yancey.

"It is constantly assumed, especially in our Tolstoian tendencies, that when the lion lies down with the lamb the lion becomes lamb-like... That is simply the lamb absorbing the lion instead of the lion eating the lamb. The real problem is - can the lion lie down with the lamb and still retain his royal ferocity? That is the problem the Church attempted; that is the miracle she achieved." - from Orthodoxy.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

G.K. Chesterton

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) nasceu em Londres e frequentou a escola de arte do University College London. Em 1900 foi convidado a contribuir com artigos de crítica de arte, e a partir daí tornou-se um dos escritores mais prolíficos de todos os tempos. Escreveu cerca de uma centena de livros, centenas de poemas, cinco peças de teatro, cinco romances e cerca de 200 contos, muitos dos quais incluem o popular padre detetive, Padre Brown. Ainda assim, considerava-se, antes de mais, jornalista: escreveu mais de 4000 ensaios para jornais e também editou o seu próprio jornal, G.K.’s Weekly. Escrevia com à-vontade nas áreas de crítica literária e social, história, política, economia, filosofia e teologia. É frequentemente chamado de «príncipe do paradoxo».
