The Everlasting Man (Black & Gold Classics) by G. K. Chesterton

The Everlasting Man explores humanity's journey and the nature of God, contrasting the Christian worldview with the materialistic worldview. Through a series of philosophical arguments, Chesterton looks at the uniqueness of human beings, emphasizing their inherent worth and the spiritual aspects that set them apart from other creatures. He uses humor and wit to draw attention to certain paradoxes of our culture, such as savage instincts coexisting with the divine inspiration of creativity. Chesterton points out that to understand humanity fully, one must recognize the need for a transcendent narrative, a narrative that centers on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. C.S. Lewis was a fan of Chesterton’s work in general, and of The Everlasting Man in particular. Previously an atheist, Lewis credited Chesterton’s work for playing a large part in his conversion. In a 1947 interview, Lewis said, “As for books, the very best popular defense of the full Christian position I know is G.K. Chesterton’s The Everlasting Man.” Black & Gold House of Books strives to provide the best quality literature at a fair price. We provide everything you want in a book and nothing you don’t.
