“The best modern argument for Christianity I’ve ever read . . . Be careful—you might just be converted.” —Ross Douthat, The Week

Philosopher and literary critic, as well as creator of the popular detective Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton takes us on a journey through history and human civilization in this classic work of lay theology, arguing—against the views of some of his contemporaries, H. G. Wells notable among them—that Jesus was simply a historical figure, albeit an extraordinary one, and Christianity is no different than any other religion. A book that had profound influence on C. S. Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia series, The Everlasting Man is considered one of the great modern examples of Christian apologetics.

G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936) was a prolific English journalist and author best known for his mystery series featuring the priest-detective Father Brown and for the metaphysical thriller The Man Who Was Thursday. Baptized into the Church of England, Chesterton underwent a crisis of faith as a young man and became fascinated with the occult. He eventually converted to Roman Catholicism and published some of Christianity’s most influential apologetics, including Heretics and Orthodoxy.
