Protestantism as Seen by G.K. Chesterton

An easy-to-read book that effortlessly pierces through the objections of the failed Protestant reform while simultaneously introducing the reader to Chesterton’s irresistible charm and ruthless wit, which has become so beloved the world-over. 

"Amid the enthusiastic celebrations of the last five hundred years of the Protestant Reformation, it seems wise to invite a “heavy” witness to weigh in on these questionable festivities.  

"Who could be more entitled to take part in such anniversary than a former liberal anti-dogmatic Protestant, who successively became an Anglican, a Unitarian, a modernist, an agnostic and an Anglo-Catholic, but who at last would finally become, once and for all, a Roman Catholic?

"Though G. K. Chesterton offers not only a “heavy” but indeed a very “jolly” testimony, his thoughts on this matter may spoil the laughter of some of the celebrants of the current anniversary. Nonetheless, the unsettling genius of Chesterton needs no lawyer’s defense. He defends it better in his own rather amusing way, thundering a sharp wake-up call to our intellectual lethargy."

If you want to better understand why the Catholic Church stands impervious to the attacks leveled against it by Protestants of all sects, this book is sure to delight, inform, and elevate the mind to God. 

A must-have, highly enjoyable read from a Polish, Catholic author.
