The Everlasting Man

This early work by G. K. Chesterton was originally published in 1925 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. In this book Chesterton explores the relationship between Evolution and Christianity the growth and role of the Church as well as providing an in-depth analysis of Paganism. Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London in 1874. He studied at the Slade School of Art and upon graduating began to work as a freelance journalist. By 1905 he had a regular and popular column with the Illustrated London News and began to write on an array of topics. Over the course of his life his literary output was incredibly diverse and highly prolific ranging from philosophy and ontology to art criticism and detective fiction. However he is probably best-remembered for his Christian apologetics most notably in The Everlasting Man.
