Chesterton's "The Everlasting Man"

[JustinHesychast]

I bought this today. Anyone here read it?

[tekiahteruah]

I have. It's good-- a lot of it I like even better than Orthodoxy. Some of it is to be taken with a grain of salt though, IMO, but that's how I feel about most of Chesterton, although I greatly admire his unparalleled wit and cheerful faith and love of paradox.

Never read anything by him, but I know he is a good writer and have heard good things. When I read CS Lewis' hearty recommendation for the book on the back cover, I just had to get it. :D I am hoping it will address my concerns with origins, other cultures, religions, etc.

Tolle Lege!

He will not make you feel very good about culture my friend!...and rightly so!

I had to read it slowly the first time.

It is probably the most profound book I have ever read. But you need to read it yourself and get back to us.

Oh yeah, when you do, check out the Chesterton thread (http://christianforums.com/t6362814-gk-chesterton-101.html).
