Orthodoxy: With Annotations and Guided Reading by Trevin Wax
Catholics and Protestants alike have long appreciated G. K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy as a classic work of Christian apologetics. In it, Chesterton recounts his quest to found a new religion, a philosophy of life that would include everything that makes the most sense of the world, only to discover at the end of his journey that the religion and its philosophy already exist. It is Christianity. This new version of Orthodoxy with annotations and guided reading by Trevin Wax will make Chesterton's classic more accessible for the first-time reader and will also provide greater insights for the person who has enjoyed Orthodoxy for many years.
G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English author of various works, including Orthodoxy. He worked in publishing until 1902, when he began writing regularly. Chesterton's weekly columns appeared for decades in the Daily News and The Illustrated London News. He wrote more than 80 books, hundreds of poems, 200 short stories, and 4,000 essays. Chesterton's apologetic works have influenced generations of Christian belief and were notably influential in C.S. Lewis's conversion to Christianity.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“From theological treatises to biographies to detective stories, Chesterton was one of the greatest writers in the English language from the 20th century. This is Chesterton's witty and intellectually robust defense of the joys of Christian orthodoxy.”
Kevin DeYoung
“In reading Chesterton . . . I did not know what I was letting myself in for. A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading.”
C.S. Lewis
““If I were to state [Chesterton’s] essential quality, I would say that it is a sort of triumphant common sense—a joyous acclaim toward the splendor and the powers of the soul.”
T. S. Eliot
“If you only read one book by Chesterton—well then shame on you—but if you only read one book by Chesterton, it has to be Orthodoxy. (However, if you read only Orthodoxy, you had better read it more than once.)”
Dale Ahlquist
president of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton
“It is a dated work, dealing in the categories and concerns of Chesterton’s contemporaries, and yet it comes nearer to timelessness than anything we have today. Though Orthodoxy was written near the start of the 20th century, I have dubbed it the most important book for the 21st.”
Matthew Lee Anderson
