“Orthodoxy, the book in your hands, came to me after I had already come to understand and love the clarity of Reformed theology. When Chesterton arrived in my intellectual scene, it was like flipping an extra breaker in my soul that turned on the party lights, brought out the dancers, and cued the music….

Orthodoxy: Introduction by N.D. Wilson
Well, Chesterton is wonderfully, gratefully brilliant here, as always. Orthodoxy is one of the finest works of modern literature, in my opinion, and is my favorite work of Christian apologetics. Of course, no one's writing is perfectly inspired (or we'd be adding to the scriptures today) and we have over 100 years to bridge to our author now, so N. D. Wilson provides some compass direction to G. K.'s discursive, merry wanderings: both to appreciate the depth of wonder Chesterton passes on to the reader (which has profoundly affected so many of us, including Wilson) as well to assert a cautionary note (as even magnanimous GKC may fall prey to a petty response on rare occasion, here concerning Calvinism).
