English writer and critic of the mid-twentieth century. He was a
productive author who wrote over 100 books and added to no less than 200
additional during his lifetime. His book, "Orthodoxy", contends that
Christianity is an extraordinary religion since it provides us
conviction about our purpose in life.Orthodoxy is a book that explains
why Christianity has been around for such a long time and continues to
be significant in the present society. It uses common sense and everyday
perceptions to explain its thoughts regarding human nature and the
advantages of living an ethical life. G.K. Chesterton criticizes
present-day philosophers for deleting religion from their lives and
urges individuals to question everything, including religion.Chesterton
starts by evaluating fairy tales, however, he explains why they're
valuable. Basically, God doesn't want us to understand the reason for
our existence. Chesterton says that fairy tales are black and white.
Fantasies either overstate trust or depression.He uses the example of
martyrs and suicidal people as inverse samples of extreme optimism and
pessimism respectively. Christianity finds harmony between these
extremes since it gives us barely enough hope while keeping us humble.
