The Everlasting Man

by G.K. Chesterton
Brian's review
Aug 14, 2007
Recommended for:
To Any Open Minded Person (but any Catholic it is a must)
Read in May, 2007
Chesterton is a genius. Period.
This book, more than most others that are on the subject of Christian apologetics, blew me away. I can't really put into words anything more than that. Maybe until I read it again. My mind was just stretched to its limits in the scope and density of his arguments.
Chesterton covers every argument for Christ & Christianity and its need and place in history.
I recommend this book to any Christian and most especially to any Catholic to read in their lifetime. At some point, take the challenge. Read this then go on and read "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis (who was very much influenced by G.K. Chesterton)
The only question I asked my wife when I was finished was: Where in the world are the people like Chesterton in today's Christian world?

Agree. Near perfect book. Where are today's Chesterton's and Lewis'. The only person (as far as apologetics is concerned) that runs a close second is Ravi Zacharias.
