Orthodoxy by G. K. CHESTERTON - July 1995

Ignatius Press, July 1995. Paper Back. New. Surely one of the most famous apologies for Christian orthodoxy of the modern age. Chesterton's dazzling use of metaphor and paradox fits comfortably with his conviction that the world is neither unreasonable nor reasonable, but <i>nearly</i> reasonable, ''a trap for logicians.'' This silent ''swerving from accuracy by an inch'' is the uncanny element in everything. Chesterton's prose dances, enchants and usually convinces, even as our ''nearly satisfied'' reason turns to intuition and imagination in order to follow his arguments to their conclusions. 168 pp.
