Welcome to The Hebdomadal Chesterton!
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was a British journalist, novelist, poet, playwright, controversialist, and public figure. He was a wonderful, remarkable man, and while he is not exactly forgotten today, he is not as well known as he should be.
There are a fair number of sites where one can find brief one-liners from Chesterton, but few that provide more substantial fare. On this blog I post excerpts from his published writings, each ranging in length from several sentences to several paragraphs. In this way, it is my hope that readers will begin to know, and to love, the singular spirit of this great man. The excerpts will be chosen in an entirely unsystematic way, which I think is what he would have preferred.
Good! Very good thing!

Re-reading Orthodoxy. Phenomenal thought went into it — and a keen wit. It is slow-going for me because I pause to transcribe bits & pieces into my journal.
Thank you for sharing GKC – great way to make the world a better place.
