Publisher's Summary

Few people had a more profound effect on Christianity in the 20th century than G. K. Chesterton. The Everlasting Man, written in response to an anti-Christian history of humans penned by H.G. Wells, is considered Chesterton’s masterpiece. In it, he explains Christ’s place in history, asserting that the Christian myth carries more weight than other mythologies for one simple reason—it is the truth.

Don’t Miss the Forest for the Trees

Chesterton writes using clever, abstract, free association and heavily dosed humor. Engineers and Accountants will be unsatisfied. So, Begin reading this book in Appendix I: “… it is not meant as a study of the things that need to be studied. It is rather a reminder of things that are seen so quickly that they are forgotten almost as quickly.” Appendix II: “… I have not loaded my abstract argument with quotations and references, which only make a man look more learned than he is; but in some cases I find that my loose fashion of allusion is rather misleading about my own meaning.” Dear Modern Reader, it is worth reading (hearing) so Sit down, buckle up, enjoy the ride. Don’t miss the forest for the trees.
