orthodoxy · chesterton

G. K. Chesterton's 1908 account of how he arrived, by his own reasoning, at the creed the church had held all along. Written as spiritual autobiography and argument at once, it defends wonder, paradox, tradition and the doctrine of original sin against the modern fashions of his day, with a joke on nearly every page.
