Orthodoxy

In "Orthodoxy," Chesterton offers a compelling defense of traditional Christianity, detailing his personal journey from skepticism to faith. The book emphasizes the limitations of materialism, arguing that it diminishes the mystery of existence. Chesterton posits that myth and fairy tales provide a richer understanding of the universe and our role within it. As a companion to "Heretics," this work has significantly influenced notable 20th-century authors like J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, showcasing Chesterton's profound literary impact.
