Part spiritual autobiography, part apologetics, Orthodoxy is G.K. Chesterton's account of his own journey to faith.

Chesterton writes about his journey of faith with wit, charm, and a razor-sharp intellect, undermining casual assumptions and lazy speculations in a relentless search for truth and meaning.Orthodoxy is the latest title in the Essential Wisdom Library, a series of books that seeks to bring spiritual wisdom - both modern and ancient - to today’s readers.
