The Everlasting Man: With Study Guide

An original and controversial work of theology, "The Everlasting Man," is so persuasive in its defense of Christianity that it influenced C.S. Lewis to convert from atheism to Christianity. Though written more than a century ago, Chesterton's work reads like a commentary of our culture today.

Considered by many to be Chesterton's greatest masterpiece, "The Everlasting Man" explains his comprehensive view of world history as informed by the Incarnation. As Chesterton retells mankind's story from the beginning, he demonstrates how Christ and the church fulfill all human desires. With characteristic brilliance and irony, he asserts that the Incarnation sets Christianity apart from other religions. All in all, "The Everlasting Man" offers a compelling perspective on world history while also powerfully restoring the reader's sense of wonder about God and the universe. This unique edition includes a thoughtful chapter summary and study guide for each chapter in the book.
