In G. K. Chestertons captivating third novel, The Ball and the Cross, we are introduced to a unique blend of fantasy, farce, and theology. The story revolves around Evan MacIan, a tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed Scottish Highlander and devout Roman Catholic, and James Turnbull, a short, red-haired, gray-eyed Scottish Lowlander who is a naive atheist. Their paths collide dramatically when MacIan, outraged by a blasphemous poster in Turnbulls atheist journal office, smashes the window and challenges Turnbull to a duel. This unexpected confrontation sparks a series of comic misadventures as the two ...
