A skeptic confronts Chesterton
A great blog post on someone reading Chesterton for the first time. Of course, he chose Orothdoxy which is one of his better books, but not totally accessible. The reviewer didn’t quite understand Chesterton’s reliance on the mystic aspect of Christianity, but he did give it a good read and had deep understanding.
For those who haven’t read it, Chesterton thought he was developing a whole new belief system and, when he was done, he discovered it was orthodox Christianity (not necessarily Catholicism, which the reviewer states over and over again. Though Chesterton did eventually become Catholic).
