Orthodoxy

Orthodoxy (1908) is a book by G. K. Chesterton that has become a classic of Christian apologetics. Chesterton considered this book a companion to his other work, Heretics. In the book's preface Chesterton states the purpose is to &quote;attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian Faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it.&quote; In it, Chesterton presents an original view of Christian religion. He sees it as the answer to natural human needs, the &quote;answer to a riddle&quote; in his own words, and not simply as an arbitrary truth received from somewhere outside the boundaries of human experience.
