Description
Among the many masterpieces of G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man is his crowning achievement. It was the book that set a young atheist named C.S. Lewis on the path toward Christianity. Evelyn Waugh called it "a permanent monument" that "needs no elucidation." Its lively prose and compelling defence of Christianity have dazzled readers ever since.
However, a little elucidation is needed. Chesterton's presentation of the story of humanity and religion is filled with obscure literary, historical, mythological, philosophical, and theological referencesβmost of which are largely lost on today's readers. Chesterton's paradoxical and apparently wandering style proves, at times, disorienting to newcomers.
In this groundbreaking guideβthe first of its kindβone of the world's leading authorities on Chesterton walks readers through the entirety of this great apologist's text. Complete with an introduction, footnotes, and running commentary, Dale Ahlquist's tour through Chesterton's classic will draw new readers into his literary worldβand old readers even deeper into his literary genius.
