Overview

Orthodoxy addresses foremost one main problem: How can we contrive to be at once astonished at the world and yet at home in it? Concerning orthodox Christianity Chesterton likens it to a man who set out in a boat from England and was quite excited to land on an island only to soon discover he had in fact, landed on England. -I am the man who with the utmost daring discovered what had been discovered before.- -I fancied that I stood alone I was really in the ridiculous position of being backed up by all Christendom.- Chesterton has the incredible ability to turn everything upside down and inside out and make you realize that is the everyday bizarre normal, the seemingly insane, sane. In Orthodoxy, Chesterton argues that people in western society need a life of -practical romance, the combination of something that is strange with something that is secure. We need so to view the world as to combine an idea of wonder and an idea of welcome.- Orthodoxy is written in a style that is as majestic and down-to-earth as C.S. Lewis at his best.
