ÂĨœSounds like a worldview that desperately is needed in a 21st century befuddled by a desire for instant grace, a preference for a life of sinless choices, a craving for âĨœnowâĨŗ redemption, a lust for material gratification. It is a clear-eyed worldview firmly grounded in âĨœJesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for everâĨŗ and speaks loudly to those of us who are stumbling about in a shadowy, helter-skelter world too often bereft of true happiness. Chesterton took this worldview in which he discovered true happiness - joy - and set about âĨœtalking about anything or everythingâĨŗ because he believed that âĨœnothing can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is true.âĨŗ And by âĨœanything or everything,âĨŗ he meant just that: consistently talking and writing extremely well about a myriad of subjects âĨŇ theology, literary criticism, social commentary, poetry, history, politics, economics, mysteries, philosophy and biographies. From The Introduction.âĨŗ âĨŇ BOOK JACKET.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer, lay theologian, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, literary and art critic, biographer, and Christian apologist.
