Description

Complete edition of The Everlasting Man by G. K. Chesterton. Chesterton successfully challenges the view that man is just another evolutionary animal, and that Jesus Christ was only human. C. S. Lewis said it was the best popular defense of the full Christian position.  Find out why in this complete reproduction of the 1925 British Edition.


Deep common sense on every page, it includes great thoughts such as these:
“The life of man is a story; an adventure story; and in our vision the same is true even of the story of God.”
“Atheists may continue to war with Christianity, but it will be as they war with nature; as they war with the landscape, as they war with the skies.”

Witty, deep, and positively entertaining, no student of thought should be without this historic book. This edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price.
