Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936) has been called the ablest and most exuberant proponent of orthodox Christianity of his time. One of the twentieth centurys most thoughtful authors, he greatly influenced countless Christian writers including C.S. Lewis and others. Described as one of 10 indispensable spiritual classics of the past 1500 years by Publishers Weekly, Chestertons Orthodoxy offers a unique explanation of the essentials of the Christian faith, and of his own journey from skepticism to belief.
