Synopsis "The Everlasting Man: With Study Guide"

An original and controversial work of theology, "The Everlasting Man," is so persuasive in its defense of Christianity that it influenced C.S. Lewis to convert from atheism to Christianity. Though written more than a century ago, Chesterton's work reads like a commentary of our culture today. Considered by many to be Chesterton's greatest masterpiece, "The Everlasting Man" explains his comprehensive view of world history as informed by the Incarnation. As Chesterton retells mankind's story from the beginning, he demonstrates how Christ and the church fulfill all human desires. With characteristic brilliance and irony, he asserts that the Incarnation sets Christianity apart from other religions. All in all, "The Everlasting Man" offers a compelling perspective on world history while also powerfully restoring the reader's sense of wonder about God and the universe. This unique edition includes a thoughtful chapter summary and study guide for each chapter in the book.

G. K. Chesterton (London, May 29, 1874 – Beaconsfield, June 14, 1936) was a prolific British writer, author of essays, novels, poetry, biographies, and Christian apologetics. His work is characterized by irony, paradoxical wit, and a critical view of modernity. He was a prominent convert to Catholicism and an influential figure in religious and literary thought of his time. He is also known for his brilliant argumentative style and his defense of common sense.

Among his most recognized works are The Man Who Was Thursday (1908), Orthodoxy (1908), The Innocence of Father Brown (1911), Heretics (1905), The Ball and the Cross (1909), and The Resurrection of Rome (1930). He cultivated the essay, the novel of ideas, detective stories, and social and religious criticism.
