Orthodoxy

In this brilliant, exuberant book of Christian apologetics, Chesterton describes his own journey to faith as a kind of adventure, arguing with wit and paradox that orthodoxy is not a dull cage but the most romantic and satisfying way of seeing the world. Ranging over reason, imagination, joy, and the strangeness of existence, he defends wonder against cynicism and tradition against fashionable despair. Endlessly quotable and joyfully argued, Orthodoxy is one of the most influential and entertaining works of Christian thought ever written. Sparkling with paradox and delight, it remains a beloved classic that has led countless readers to see the world—and belief—with fresh eyes.
