Inhaltsangabe

'The Everlasting Man' is one of G. K. Chesterton's most respected works, a witty, imaginative and sincere attempt to justify the life of Jesus as a pivotal moment in the history of human spirituality. Dividing the book into two parts, Chesterton looks first at early 'cave men' and the ensuing development of pagan civilization, claiming that such societies effectively separated myth and philosophy. By contrast, in the second part of the book he demonstrates that, following the Crucifixion, these tendencies were successfully combined in the Christian religion. The result is a must-read ideological defence of Christianity, a book described by C. S. Lewis as among the most influential he had ever encountered.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English writer, essayist, critic, and novelist whose work ranged across theology, philosophy, journalism, and fiction. Renowned for his wit and mastery of paradox, he created the character of Father Brown as a counterpoint to the hyper-rational detectives of his era. Chesterton's mystery stories remain central to the development of twentieth-century crime fiction, influencing later writers through their emphasis on moral psychology as much as deductive reasoning.
