The Everlasting Man by G. k. Chesterton

"Considered by many to be Chesterton's greatest masterpiece of all his writings" "The very best defense of the full Christian position I know.” – C.S. Lewis Is man but another animal and Christ but another man? This is the vital question of ‘The Everlasting Man’. Reflecting on the theories and concepts that form modern views on the origin and function of life, with his trademark wit and wisdom, G.K. Chesterson unveils how religion–a fusion of philosophy and mythology–not only addresses the faculties of the human intellect and spirit but also unequivocally separates humanity from all other living creatures. Exploring evolution, feminism, and cultural relativism in the realm of religion, in an intelligent affirmation of the Christian faith he reveals the simplicity of the truth, that the specific shape of the key is inconsequential as long as it can fit in the lock and open the door. Written by one of the most profoundly influential writers of his time whose work influenced people such as George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Bertrand Russell, Hilaire Belloc, Clarence Darrow, Franz Khafka, C.S. Lewis and even the Irish revolutionary Michael Collins, ‘The Everlasting Man’ is yet another of G.K. Chesterson’s masterful works that is not to be missed. Read more
