A review by jchimpius
Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton
5.0
I definitely need to re-read this book as it’s just so filled with wisdom I know I missed some of it. Chesterton requires a lot of patience but he does an excellent job of essentially selling the medieval worldview to the modern man. At times he was straightforward and logical. Others he was paradoxical. At some points even somewhat poetic. He really isn’t afraid to utilise a number of literary styles to make you see things from his perspective.
[UPDATE]
I have come back and re read sections of this book and I still will reccomend it as the best apologetics book I have ever read. Most of the value comes from dissecting the way religion undergerds modern life and convincing you that you already are indeed religious.
