About this book

A devout Catholic and a fervent atheist, outraged by each other's beliefs, set out to settle their quarrel by a duel, only to find all of respectable, indifferent society determined to stop two men who actually take ideas seriously, chasing them across England in a fantastical adventure. Chesterton turns a battle of convictions into a rollicking, philosophical romance about faith, doubt, and the modern refusal to believe in anything. Witty, imaginative, and full of paradox, The Ball and the Cross blends theology with comic adventure. Provocative and entertaining, it is a spirited defense of passionate belief in an age of complacent unbelief.
