Synopsis

Orthodoxy (1908) is a book by G. K. Chesterton that has become a classic of Christian apologetics. Chesterton considered this book a companion to his other work, Heretics. In the book's preface Chesterton states the purpose is to "attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian Faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it." In it, Chesterton presents an original view of Christian religion. He sees it as the answer to natural human needs, the "answer to a riddle" in his own words, and not simply as an arbitrary truth received from somewhere outside the boundaries of human experience

About this title

Review

" Whenever I feel my faith going dry again, I wander to a shelf and pick up a book by G.K. Chesterton."
--from the foreword by Philip Yancey, author of "What's So Amazing About Grace?" and "The Jesus I Never Knew
"
" My favorite on the list İof top 100 spiritual classics of the twentieth century¨ is Chesterton's "Orthodoxy." It offers wonderful arguments for embracing religious traditions, but it also has humor you don't typically find in religious writing."
--Philip Zaleski, author and journalist
Named by "Publisher's Weekly" as one of 10 " indispensable spiritual classics" of the past 1500 years.
"--Publisher's Weekly
"" Chesterton's most enduring book.... Charming."
