Originally published in 1908, Orthodoxy is G.K. Chesterton's classic work of Christian apologetics, setting forth the intellectual case for his rediscovery of the Christian faith. In his own words, Orthodoxy is Chesterton's attempt at "a explanation, not of whether the Christian faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it." Gilbert Keith (G.K.) Chesterton (1874-1936) was often referred to as the "prince of paradox." A prominent English writer, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, lay theologian, biographer, and literary and art critic, he was renowned as a superb stylist and incisive thinker. "[Chesterton] was a man of collossal genius." -- George Bernard Shaw
