The Everlasting Man

In this thoughtful response to the rampant social Darwinism of the early twentieth century, G. K. Chesterton explains how religion, a blend of philosophy and mythology, satisfies both the human intellect and the spirit, and sets man starkly apart from any other living creature. Written in 1925, this enduring polemic still strikes a modern chord. Addressing evolution, feminism, and cultural relativism within the context of religion, the book also examines religious scepticism. How does one sustain belief in Jesus Christ when, throughout history, the key to religious truth has been constantly reshaped? According to Chesterton, the shape of the key is not important. What matters is that it fits the lock and opens the door.
