Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The Well and the Shallows is among G.K. Chesterton's late works of Catholic apologetics, a vigorous collection of essays defending the depth of Christian orthodoxy against what he sees as the thinness of modern unbelief. Written with his characteristic paradox, aphoristic wit, and combative charity, the book moves between theology, politics, culture, and common sense. Its title announces its method: to contrast the inexhaustible 'well' of Catholic truth with the fashionable shallows of relativism, materialism, and secular sophistication in the interwar world. Chesterton, already celebrated as a journalist, novelist, poet, and controversialist, entered the Roman Catholic Church in 1922 after a long intellectual pilgrimage from liberal Anglicanism and aesthetic skepticism toward sacramental orthodoxy. His conversion sharpened, rather than narrowed, his public voice. The essays reflect a writer who believed that doctrine was not abstraction but a way of seeing reality whole, and who brought to religious argument the instincts of a storyteller and moral comedian. Readers interested in Christian thought, literary polemic, or the history of modern religious debate will find this book both entertaining and intellectually bracing. It is especially rewarding for those who value argument carried by style, conviction, and imaginative force.e-artnow s.r.o., Za sidlistem 22, 14300 Prague 136 pp. Englisch.
