Recomended Works of Chesterson Christanon 07/05/18 (Thu) 19:29:28 98d866 No.670754

I've heard his name thrown around here, not so much, as Mr. Lewis, but i heard was along the lines of a genius. Does Mr. Chesterson have any Apologetics or Philosophy for the Christian Faith? Cause my first time reading Mr. Lewis's works i was amazed.

I've read Orthodoxy and What's Wrong with the World and IMO, read ALL his apologetics stuff! Lewis is a Master but G.K. Chesterton is really a GRANDMASTER, as evidence by Lewis using so many of his arguments. Chesterton is very gifted in using analogies and he's just full of timeless wisdom. I really need to get around to The Everlasting Man as I've heard good things about it.

For the lazy, a lot of his stuff is on Librivox.org so you can just listen to the books while doing other stuff. https://librivox.org/author/426?primary_key=426&search_category=author&search_page=1&search_form=get_results

I also think that Tolkien must've also been influenced by Chesterton as Chesterton's essay in Orthodoxy "The Ethics of Elfland" struck me as right down Tolkien's alley.

Alright i'll check him out. Cause i've heard Lewis Quote him in some of his articles and excerpts from his broadcast on certain topics like on love, and Christian Marriage. Book called orthodoxy, then i will see if it's on amazon, as, i prefer hard copies. But thank you sir.

This, fpbp

If you want to read his fiction, start with some of his poetry, especially "Lepanto", and The Man Who Was Thursday. If you want to buy for keepsake (and you should tbqh sempai), the best version for any of his works are the Ignatius Collected Works series. They have a beige cover with his silhouette so they're hard to miss on Amazon.

His writing is amazing, but his hair style is dope and we need to bring it back.

Will do man, should make for an interesting summer planning to hit the gym, and to start back up on reading. And if Chesterton is the grandmaster, to comparison of C.S Lewis, then this should be interesting adventure through works, and Philosophy.
