What You'll Learn:
G.K. Chesterton is considered one of the most prolific writers of the twentieth century. He wrote that he was a pagan at age 12 and an agnostic by 16. Orthodoxy is the story of how—to his own surprise—his sophisticated doubts and objections brought him to an ancient faith.
Key Insights:
- Christianity offers the thrill of adventure and the comfort of a welcome home simultaneously.
- For most of our history, the existence of evil was taken for granted; its existence is now up for debate.
- It’s not the overly imaginative, but those with an underdeveloped imagination who are most vulnerable to insanity.
- More dangerous than the vices that have been unleashed in the modern era are the virtues.
- Orthodoxy is not stale, but vivifying, a story of narrowly avoiding trite heresies at every turn.
- Christianity’s plausibility shows up in the very same arguments agnostics use to rule it out.
