"Orthodoxy" of Chesterton is one of the best written apologies of Christianity. Here, brilliant wit, common sense and ease of writing Chesterton reach genuine genius. “Orthodoxy” - appeared in response to Cherton’s accusation of his book “heretics” there are many calls to turn to his philosophy, but there is no philosophy itself. "Orthodoxy" is the "philosophy" of Chesterton. This is not a church treatise, but something like a careless autobiography ...

Chesterton Gilbert Keith (1874-1936) - Christian apologist, classic of world literature, known, first of all, from the stories of about. Brown. Brilliant comedian, paradoxical, polemicist, journalist. The author of several hundred poems, 200 stories, 4000 essays, a number of plays, the novels “The man who was Thursday”, “Ball and Cross”, “Migratory tavern”, etc. He was, first of all, the defender of obvious things: a cheerfulness, joy, joy Gratitude, beauty, common sense. In his youth, seeing that the present is questioning all this, and Christianity, on the other hand, is the very focus of these ideals, Chesterton became one of the most outstanding apologists of the 20th century faith. His apology was implemented in two forms: artistic (primarily a detective cycle about O. Brown) and theoretical (treatises “Eternal Man”, “Orthodoxy”, etc.) - and it is difficult to say which one is more fascinating: humor, paradox and ease Letters are equally characteristic of both, and the impotence of the first and the turns of thought of the second are standing each other.
Cheseerton writes about the nature of his “orthodoxy”: “In these essays, I only want to discuss the undoubted fact that the Christian teaching expressed in the Apostolic Symbol is the best source of effective joy and healthy ethics. The word“ belief ”means a symbol of faith here, as Until recently, everyone who considered himself a Christian understood it, and the usual, known from history, the behavior of those who adhered to him. The size of the book forces to limit himself to a conversation about what I received from this faith and not to touch the issue that is often discussed, - Where did we get faith.
