“The best modern argument for Christianity I’ve ever read . . . Be careful—you might just be converted.” —Ross Douthat, The Week Philosopher and literary critic, as well as creator of the popular detective Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton takes us on a journey through history and human civilization in this classic work of lay theology, arguing—against the views of some of his contemporaries, H. G. Wells notable among them—that Jesus was simply a historical figure, albeit an extraordinary one, and Christianity is no different than any other religion. A book that had profound influence on C. S. Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia series, The Everlasting Man is considered one of the great modern examples of Christian apologetics.

Chesterton is all over the place, only a few degrees from being a Nick Land style writer. Otherwise he's still a good humored polemicist.
