Summary:
One of the most well-known Christian apologetics of the modern era, "The Everlasting Man" has been cited by myriad authors and theologians - including CS Lewis, Evelyn Waugh, JRR Tolkien, and Norwegian writer Sigrid Undset - as fundamental to their faith and their art. A two-part volume that addresses man's supremacy among animals and the life and influence of Jesus Christ, "The Everlasting Man" is long-winded, personal, and weirdly funny, with GK Chesterton's signature wit and style. Believers and non-believers will find things to to be angry about - and to love.
About the Author:
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an imposing man - standing six-foot-four and around 300 pounds. A devout Catholic, Chesterton published 80 books, several hundred poems, roughly 200 short stories, and 4,000 essays, and several plays. Pious though he was, GK Chesterton was also witty, outrageous, and paradoxical. He's best known for his priest-detective "Father Brown" series, the novel "The Man Who Was Thursday," and his enduring Christian apologetics work, "The Everlasting Man."
