Beschreibung

In the classic work 'Orthodoxy', G.K. Chesterton delves into the exploration of his own spiritual journey in a unique and engaging literary style. Through a series of witty and thought-provoking essays, Chesterton defends traditional Christian beliefs against the prevailing trends of modernism and skepticism. Drawing on his deep knowledge of literature and philosophy, Chesterton presents a compelling argument for the relevance and vitality of orthodox Christianity in the face of contemporary challenges. His writing is characterized by its poetic language, sharp wit, and keen insight into the human condition, making 'Orthodoxy' a timeless and inspiring read that continues to resonate with readers today. As a prolific writer, poet, and critic, G.K. Chesterton was deeply influenced by his own conversion to Catholicism, which provided the foundation for much of his literary and philosophical work. 'Orthodoxy' reflects Chesterton's passion for defending the faith and exploring the beauty and mystery of Christian doctrine. His unique perspective and intellectual rigor shine through in this seminal work, making it a must-read for anyone interested in theology, philosophy, or literature. I highly recommend 'Orthodoxy' to readers seeking a profound and insightful exploration of Christian faith and philosophy. Chesterton's masterful blend of humor, intelligence, and spiritual depth offers a rich and rewarding reading experience that will challenge and inspire readers of all backgrounds.

Autorenportrait

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936) was a prolific English writer, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, literary and art critic, biographer, and Christian apologist. A towering figure of early 20th-century literature, he is best known for his distinctive style, characterized by wit, paradox, and a jovial defiance of conventional wisdom. Chesterton's writing career spanned many genres, but he is perhaps most revered for his Christian apologetics, among which 'Orthodoxy' (1908), a spirited defense of Christian belief, remains a seminal work. In 'Orthodoxy', Chesterton outlined his journey from skepticism to faith, as well as articulating a philosophy that celebrated the rationality and mystery of Christianity. Beyond 'Orthodoxy', he is also famous for his Father Brown mystery series, which infused the detective genre with philosophical and theological depth. Chesterton's influence extends through various literary circles and his works continue to be studied for their imaginative vigor and intellectual playfulness. His ability to combine serious ideological discourse with engaging storytelling resonates with readers and scholars alike. A man of imposing physical stature with a prolific output, Chesterton's legacy includes over 80 books, several hundred poems, 200 short stories, 4000 essays, and several plays.

Informationen zu E-Books

„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.
Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.
Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
