Orthodoxy | G.K. Chesterton
Orthodoxy sheds light on hard life questions and doubts regarding faith. Rather than trying to prove Christianity, Chesterton details his own journey to Christian Faith. He has an incredible ability to illustrate complex ideas in a way that leaves you feeling enlightened! He paints pictures and tells stories we can all relate to and reminds you why you believe. Touching on history, world religions, philosophy and fantasy, his personal discoveries make a compelling case for orthodoxy.
One such idea to contemplate:
“Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination.
The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits.”
