The Everlasting Man

By: G. K. Chesterton

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

Highly influential in C. S. Lewis' conversion from atheism to Christianity, The Everlasting Man continues to inspire new generations of readers and listeners.

Considered by many to be Chesterton's greatest masterpiece, this audiobook declares his comprehensive view of world history as informed by the Incarnation. Retelling mankind's story from the very beginning, he shows how all human desires are fulfilled in the person of Christ and Christ's church. With his characteristic brilliance and irony, he argues that Christianity is not just a religion to stand beside other religions, for the fact of the Incarnation sets it apart.

One of the most original and controversial theological works ever written, The Everlasting Man offers a commanding perspective of world history and aims to restore our sense of wonder in the universe, our god, and ourselves.

who can compete with this mans' words?

Whether I agree or not, this guy has a true gift for communicating. Having said that, I agree with most of his thoughts and ideas. This was a delight. C S Lewis was pretty good, Chesterton is better.

A Ponderous Poem

Makes one think twice and read thrice. A thoughtful and comprehensive exposition of the exclusive inclusion of the Christ in the world and ways of His creation.

Logic

The low key humor of the author or what might be described a British understatement.

The completeness of it.

I'm probably going to have to listen to it three or four times before I really get it all.

brilliant thoughts from a stunningly brilliant man

I listened to it a few times the themes and narrative of history are profoundly insightful. I'm very grateful for G.K. Chesterton and his efforts to share with the world

An everlasting classic

G.K. Chesterton beautifully articulates the story of the Everlasting Man in a way that can be read centuries from now, and shake some poor soul to its core.

Did cavemen act like what we are told?

Chesterton has an amazing mind and if you dare to listen, or read, your assumptions of what you learned in school, facts or stories you’ve taken for granted will be challenged greatly. My second time through and it was as enjoyable as the first time. Recommend this author and this presentation highly. Well done. Respectfully Bill Steinwedell

Thought provoking

Witty application of common sense to theological and philosophical questions, fun to listen to. Its logical twist and turns are food for thought on modern fallacies that go mostly uncontested nowadays.

GK is just one of the best

Always worth the listen. Funny and insightful. The more you listen or read this guy the more you open your mind to Christianity

Great sense listen

A great and thought provoking book. Lots to think about. A dense listen, but worth the time. There are some gems
