Complete edition of Heretics by G. K. Chesterton. Chesterton discusses ideas by H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Kipling and others of his day in his argument for God. Still thought provoking after 100 years, find out why in this complete reproduction of the 1905 British Edition. Deep common sense on every page, it includes great thoughts such as these: “The modern world is filled with men who hold dogmas so strongly that they do not even know that they are dogmas.”Witty, deep, and positively entertaining, no student of thought should be without this historic book. This edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ORTHODOXY 3 2. ON THE NEGATIVE SPIRIT 6 3. ON MR.
