<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Now with a new foreword by Charles Colson.<br/><br/>Antiquated. Unimaginative. Repressive. We've all heard these common reactions to orthodox Christian beliefs. Even Christians themselves are guilty of the tendency to discard historic Christianity. As Charles Colson writes in the foreword, "Evangelicals, despite their professed belief in the Bible, have not been exempt from the influence of the postmodern spirit."<br/><br/>This spirit is averse to Truth and the obedience that follows. And people today, as in Chesterton's day, continue to look anywhere but heavenward for something to believe in.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In <i>Orthodoxy</i>, G.K. Chesterton's most enduring work, Chesterton argues that the drama and mystery of Christianity are sanity and that the naturalistic machinations of atheism are madness.</p><p>We've all heard common reactions to orthodox Christian belief: Antiquated.

Lewis to become a Christian. He is probably best known for his series about the priest-detective <i>Father Brown</i> and was also known as a poet and a playwright. In spite of his literary accomplishments, he primarily considered himself a journalist, writing over 4,000 newspaper essays for papers such as Illustrated <i>London News</i> and <i>Daily News</i>, as well as his own <i>G. K.¿s Weekly.</i>
