G.K. Chesterton: His Life, Writings, and Lasting Impact (Dale Ahlquist) | Ep. 451

Called the Prince of Paradox G.K. Chesterton was one of the greatest thinkers and writers of the 20th Century. JRR Tolkien memorized all 143 lines of Chesterton's "Lepanto". C.S. Lewis once said, "the best popular defense of the full Christian position I know is G. K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man." Ronald Knox, the Scholar and Biblical Translator, homilizing at his funeral said, "All of this generation has grown up under Chesterton's influence so completely that we do not even know when we are thinking Chesterton". Dale Ahlquist the founder of the Chesterton Society and Chesterton Academies joins the show to talk about the life and writings of the Man that was Chesterton.
