Orthodoxy

G. K. Chesterton’s Orthodoxy is one of the great works of modern Christian apologetics: a vigorous, witty, and deeply personal account of how Chesterton came to see Christianity not as a narrow restriction on life, but as the key to sanity, wonder, freedom, and joy. Written as a companion and answer to his earlier Heretics, this book follows Chesterton through questions of reason, imagination, morality, humility, democracy, doctrine, and the astonishing strangeness of the Christian creed. With his characteristic paradoxes and memorable turns of phrase, Chesterton argues that orthodoxy is not a dull compromise, but a daring vision of reality that preserves both truth and adventure. This Catechized Catholic Works edition presents the public-domain text in a clean, readable paperback format for study, reflection, and lasting use.
