About the author

G.K. Chesterton

Chesterton was the most dazzling Catholic apologist and paradox-monger in English letters, writing essays, novels, and criticism with an exuberant wit that masked a serious theological and social vision. Orthodoxy is his spiritual autobiography and his masterpiece.
