Amid currents of modernity that sought to displace the Christian
faith, Chesterton challenged thought leaders of his day with
civility, erudition, and wit, contending that faith is the
central piece of our humanity. C. S. Lewis credits The
Everlasting Man for his Christian vision, while Heretics and
Orthodoxy are still considered pillars of Christian thought. But
Chesterton wasn't just an apologist. He wrote literary
criticisms of Dickens and Chaucer still revered as seminal
works. He wrote long-form epic poetry, widely-published
articles, and lectured on art, politics, and history. Defiant
Joy reveals a larger-than-life thinker and cultural giant-
showing his utmost relevance for us today, and how a vibrant
Christian witness can display the merits, joy, and sanity of a
faith many wish to discredit. Note: Quick Picks are new to the
