The Return of Christendom

by G. K. Chesterton, Bishop Gore (Introduction), A Group of Churchmen

Overview

This book--a collection of untimely essays by notables such as Arthur Penty--starts from the conviction that the world is above all in need of a unifying principle, for lack of which civilization is rapidly disintegrating, It urges that the discovery of this must involve the restoration in new forms of the medieval ideal of Christendom, and it finds implicit in the Catholic Faith the elements of a distinctive Christian sociology.

About the Author

British writer GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON (1874-1936) expounded prolifically about his wide-ranging philosophies. A man of strong opinions, with a humorous style that earned him the title of the "prince of paradox," he is impossible to categorize as "liberal" or "conservative": he was a literary critic, historian, playwright, novelist, columnist, and poet. His thousands of essays and 80 books remain among the most beloved in the English language.
