About this audiobook
'Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a God who knew the way out of the grave.'
One of Chesterton's most renowned Christian apologetic works,
The Everlasting Man is a powerful defence of Christianity, and a compelling argument for why spirituality should be a key component to Western civilisation and humanity at large.
First published in 1925,
The Everlasting Man is in many ways a direct rebuttal to H.G. Wells's
The Outline of History, wherein he states that man is merely a development from animal life, and that Jesus was just a charismatic figure. Although a popular secular idea at the time, Chesterton believed otherwise. He argued that in order to understand both humanity and history, we ought first to recognise the uniqueness of both man and Christ. Split into two parts, this book delves into what makes man different – as creators of art, religion and reason – as well as the significance of God, and how He marked a turning point in all of history. Written with Chesterton's trademark wit and fondness of the philosophical,
The Everlasting
Man is an elegant investigation into the divine and how it may be the answer to humanity's deepest questions. This audiobook edition is excellently read by Jonathan Keeble.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936) was an English novelist, philosopher, journalist and critic. A Christian apologist, he is famed for creating the fictional priest-detective Father Brown. His writing was also renowned for his sense of humour: known as 'the prince of paradox', Chesterton often turned common sayings upside down. Admired by several of his literary contemporaries, Chesterton's work is still widely read today.
