Book Synopsis Protestantism As Seen by G. K. Chesterton by : Wojciech Golonka
Download or read book Protestantism As Seen by G. K. Chesterton written by Wojciech Golonka and published by Dereggio. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid the enthusiasm agitating Christians during the celebrations of the five hundred years of the Reformation, it seems judicious to invite a "heavy" witness to weigh in on the festivities. Who could be more entitled to take part in such anniversary than a former liberal anti-dogmatic Protestant, who successively became an Anglican, a Unitarian, a modernist, an agnostic and an Anglo-Catholic, but who at last would finally become, once and for all, a Roman Catholic? Though G. K. Chesterton offers not only a "heavy" but indeed a very "jolly" testimony, his thoughts on this matter may spoil the laughter of some of the celebrants of the current anniversary. Nonetheless, the unsettling genius of Chesterton needs no lawyer's defense. He defends it better in his own rather amusing way, thundering a sharp wake-up call to our intellectual lethargy. May the reader please excuse all introductions, remarks and commentaries of the scribe that a more alert reader perhaps may find superfluous. (from the introduction) "We have come out of the shallows" of Protestantism to enter into "the one deep well" or fountain of Catholicism: such is the sincere testimony of a Protestant convert to Catholicism. Particularly worth mulling over in this year of the Lord 2017, five hundred years after the beginning of the so-called Reformation. (from the conclusion)

Book excerpt: Writers as shallow as Fanon or as mendacious as Marcuse were elevated into cultural heroes; ruthless men of action like Mao Zedong and Che Guevara were canonised as enlightened intellectuals; charlatans like Le Corbusier jostled with obscurantists like Foucault and Habermas for the cultural eminence which the believing mass of revolutionary students was all too willing to bestow on them. Thinkers judged to be 'conservative', 'anti-revolutionary' or 'reactionary' were undervalued or dismissed. The modern history of our culture was distorted by the entirely false assumption that its principal representatives have been revolutionaries and modernists.

Download or read book The Third Spring written by Adam Schwartz and published by . This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of modern history, Roman Catholics in Britain were a "rejected minority," facing hostility and estrangement from a culture increasingly at odds with traditional Christianity. Yet British Catholicism underwent a remarkable intellectual and literary renewal, especially in the twentieth century, drawing a disproportionate number of the age's leading minds into its ranks. The Third Spring unravels this paradox of a renascent Catholic culture within a post-Christian society. It does so through detailed profiles of the spiritual journeys and religious and cultural beliefs of four seminal members of that twentieth-century revival: G. K. Chesterton, Graham Greene, Christopher Dawson, and David Jones. Although these four authors came from different backgrounds and wrote primarily in different genres, each converted to Roman Catholicism as an adult and made his new faith the foundation of his intellectual and artistic work. All of them judged the Church to be the last corporate voice of orthodox Christianity in a hitherto unmatched irreligious climate of opinion; and they concluded that the Roman Catholic vision of human nature, thought, history, and art was truer and richer than proposed by prevailing secularism. They thus built on the nineteenth-century "Second Spring" of British Catholicism proclaimed by John Henry Newman to create a fresh assertion of Roman Catholicism, one suited to an era of unprecedented unbelief: a Third Spring. This book is the first detailed examination of these four authors as part of a Roman Catholic, counter-modern community of discourse. It is informed by extensive research in the writers' works, scholarship on them, and their personal papers. This study is also distinguished by its careful attention to the authors' cultural and religious contexts, and to the psychology and theology of conversion. It will therefore deepen understanding, and correct some misconceptions, of each man's spiritual development and his thought, while revealing the twentieth-century Catholic literary revival to be a distinct movement in both British and Roman Catholic thought. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Adam Schwartz is Assistant Professor of History at Christendom College and author of numerous reviews and articles in several scholarly journals. Schwartz serves on the Board of Directors of the American Chesterton Society. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK "The work is a monumental achievement of research and sensitive literary criticism, combined with an acute awareness of the uniqueness of the individual conversion story. This book sheds new light on the subject and brings achievements, and failures, of the Third Spring into sharp relief."--Gerald J. Russello, Crisis "[A]n inviting introduction to figures of continuing interest."-- First Things "Part biography and part literary criticism, the book is at its best when exploring how the conversion experiences of its subjects influenced their critiques of the spirit of their age. . . . Schwartz urges that the challenge these men mounted should inspire us all to follow suit. His case is compelling."--Steve Weatherbe, National Catholic Register "The Third Spring is an elegantly written, carefully researched, and erudite exposition of some of the most seminal voices in British Catholic thought."--Jay P. Corrin, Catholic Historical Review "Schwartz's case is lucid, well-researched, and convincing. . . . The Third Spring should find broad appeal and is worthy of serious attention."--Clark M. Brittain, Church History "The pleasure of this book is that in addition to all that it adds to our knowledge of these writers (which for most of us will be monumental) it both deepens and propels our own understanding of the faith and tacitly challenges us about what role we will play in a post-Christia
Book Synopsis What's Wrong with the World by : G. K. Chesterton
Download or read book What's Wrong with the World written by G. K. Chesterton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aptly titled treatise What's Wrong With the World, one of the twentieth century's most memorable and prolific writers takes on education, government, big business, feminism, and a host of other topics. A steadfast champion of the working man, family, and faith, Chesterton eloquently opposed materialism, snobbery, hypocrisy, and any adversary of freedom and simplicity in modern society. Culled from the thousands of essays he contributed to newspapers and periodicals over his lifetime, the critical works collected for this edition pulse with the author's unique brand of clever commentary. As readable and rewarding today as when they were written over a century ago, these pieces offer Chesterton's unparalleled analysis of contemporary ideals, his incisive critique of modern efficiency, and his humorous but heartfelt defense of the common man against trendsetting social assaults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of G. K. Chesterton’s finest collection of essays, The Well and the Shallows, explore more controversial themes than typically seen in the work of the English writer.

The Well and the Shallows is an insightful collection of essays on some of the most important ideas of the modernist era written by one of the greatest English writers of the 20th century. It is a perfect read for those interested in the work of G. K. Chesterton or any with a broader interest in historical, social analysis from a religious perspective.
Book Synopsis Orthodoxy by : Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Download or read book Orthodoxy written by Gilbert Keith Chesterton and published by Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orthodoxy is a book by G. K. Chesterton. This is one of the best apology of the Christian religion in contemporary history. It was written after the publishing of another Chesterton’s book, Heretics when the author had been accused of encouraging the readers to appeal to his philosophy whereas such philosophy didn’t exist. Orthodoxy became the book of such philosophy. Chesterton wrote, “...It is the purpose of the writer to attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian Faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it. The book is therefore arranged upon the positive principle of a riddle and its answer. It deals first with all the writer's own solitary and sincere speculations and then with all the startling style in which they were all suddenly satisfied by the Christian Theology...
Download or read book Orthodoxy written by G. K. Chesterton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-09 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Orthodoxy, G.K. Chesterton sets out his ideas and thoughts on the subject of Catholic and Christian principles, and how humans spiritual and worldly needs correspond to each. The collection of essays each cover a topic specific to religion and its place in modern life. Intended to be a companion for G.K. Chesterton's earlier work essays titled Heretics, this book is an ebullient rejoinder to the theological field after certain contemporaries had criticised his earlier efforts. The results are excellent: a succession of essays which combine the plain spoken and good humoured style which Chesterton made his own with the essential logic and reason that underpinned his arguments for faith and spiritualism. Eternally fresh for its timeless arguments, Orthodoxy was lauded upon its original release in 1908, and is today considered a classic in the field of Christian apologetics. The legacy of Chesterton as an impassioned writer and author on themes of spirituality has led to calls for posthumous canonization by figures within the Catholic church. Characterised by his easily digestible style, ready use and exposure of paradox, and his use of wit and humour to advance argument, Chesterton's fiction and non-fiction writings on the topics of human behaviour and wider society remain relevant and poignant to this day.

Book Synopsis Rethinking G.K. Chesterton and Literary Modernism by : Michael Shallcross
Download or read book Rethinking G.K. Chesterton and Literary Modernism written by Michael Shallcross and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively rethinks the relationship between G.K. Chesterton and a range of key literary modernists. When Chesterton and modernism have previously been considered in relation to one another, the dynamic has typically been conceived as one of mutual hostility, grounded in Chesterton’s advocacy of popular culture and modernist literature’s appeal to an aesthetic elite. In setting out to challenge this binary narrative, Shallcross establishes for the first time the depth and ambivalence of Chesterton’s engagement with modernism, as well as the reciprocal fascination of leading modernist writers with Chesterton’s fiction and thought. Shallcross argues that this dynamic was defined by various forms of parody and performance, and that these histrionic expressions of cultural play not only suffused the era, but found particular embodiment in Chesterton’s public persona. This reading not only enables a far-reaching reassessment of Chesterton’s corpus, but also produces a framework through which to re-evaluate the creative and critical projects of a host of modernist writers—most sustainedly, T.S. Eliot, Wyndham Lewis, and Ezra Pound—through the prism of Chesterton's disruptive presence. The result is an innovative study of the literary performance of popular and ‘high’ culture in early twentieth-century Britain, which adds a valuable new perspective to continuing critical debates on the parameters of modernism.
