Chesterton's Tavern

A Great Writer's Thoughts on Life and Things of Wisdom

De: Kevin Belmonte

Narrado por: Ben Zornes

At a time when intellectuals and politicians were all telling the world that science had advanced us beyond Christianity and we needed to face the cold hard truth, an enormously fat man in a cape with a walking stick laughed at them and refuted them with brilliant prose and witty one-liners.

Chesterton’s Tavern is a book that imagines what Chesterton would talk about if he were at ease in an English pub (which in fact is something he did enjoy doing). Kevin Belmonte shows that Chesterton’s insights are as true today as they were then. Chesterton was equally comfortable talking about fiction, myths, fairy tales, history, science, politics, and theology, because he saw them all as part of the strange world God had given us.

In Christ, everything holds together, and so we should not be surprised at the strangeness of the world or Christian faith. So sit back and let Chesterton regale you with his wisdom. You will come away wiser.
