Heretics

<p>Witty and honest about belief in the Christian Faith <em>Heretics</em> is a collection of essays from the 20th century by the “prince of paradox” G.K. Chesterton. While recognized as a philosopher as well as a social critic Chesterton is also considered a lay theologian due to the nature of his content. Along with <em>Heretics</em> Chesterton has also written apologetics poetry and even fantasy novels with faith interwoven into the themes.</p><p>His essays in <em>Heretics</em> focus on well-known individuals from the 20th century such as Rudyard Kipling and H. G. Wells who pride themselves on separating their morals and ethics from Christian values or “heretics” with an unpopular opinion. While the main goal of his work is to observe these prominent figures he also makes his own observations on philosophy theology nihilism and life itself throughout the novel.</p><p><em>Heretics</em> makes use of G.K. Chesterton’s good humor and his curiosity of the universe to make stark yet thought-provoking criticism on those who stick to incomplete beliefs without questioning further.</p>
