About this listen

Highly influential in C. S. Lewis' conversion from atheism to Christianity, The Everlasting Man continues to inspire new generations of readers and listeners.

Considered by many to be Chesterton's greatest masterpiece, this audiobook declares his comprehensive view of world history as informed by the Incarnation. Retelling mankind's story from the very beginning, he shows how all human desires are fulfilled in the person of Christ and Christ's church. With his characteristic brilliance and irony, he argues that Christianity is not just a religion to stand beside other religions, for the fact of the Incarnation sets it apart.

One of the most original and controversial theological works ever written, The Everlasting Man offers a commanding perspective of world history and aims to restore our sense of wonder in the universe, our god, and ourselves.

Whether I agree or not, this guy has a true gift for communicating. Having said that, I agree with most of his thoughts and ideas. This was a delight. C S Lewis was pretty good, Chesterton is better.

Chesterton has an amazing mind and if you dare to listen, or read, your assumptions of what you learned in school, facts or stories you’ve taken for granted will be challenged greatly. My second time through and it was as enjoyable as the first time. Recommend this author and this presentation highly. Well done. Respectfully Bill Steinwedell

Witty application of common sense to theological and philosophical questions, fun to listen to. Its logical twist and turns are food for thought on modern fallacies that go mostly uncontested nowadays.
