Orthodoxy de G. K. Chesterton

Orthodoxy

Autor G. K. Chesterton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 mai 2012
The Christian Classic
ORTHODOXY
by G.K. Chesterton
A self-described agnostic in his youth, Chesterton reveals how he came to believe in the Christianity message.
As he describes in his preface to the book:
"It is the purpose of the writer to attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian Faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it. The book is therefore arranged upon the positive principle of a riddle and its answer. It deals first with all the writer's own solitary and sincere speculations and then with all the startling style in which they were all suddenly satisfied by the Christian Theology."
In Orthodoxy, G.K. Chesterton applies his prodigious intellect to dismantle modern thought and expose it for its utter emptiness.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Orthodoxy, as G. K. Chesterton employs the term here, means "right opinion." In this, the masterpiece of his brilliant literary career, he applies the concept of correct reasoning to his acceptance of Christianity. Written in a down-to-earth and familiar style, he presents formal and scholarly arguments in the explanation and defense of the tenets underlying his faith.
Paradox and contradiction, Chesterton maintains, do not constitute barriers to belief; imagination and intuition are as relevant to the processes of thought and understanding as logic and rationality. "Whenever we feel there is something odd in Christian theology," he observes, "we shall generally find that there is something odd in the truth." He defines his insights with thought-provoking analogies, personal anecdotes, and engaging humor, making this century-old book a work of enduring charm and persuasion.
