His prolific and diverse output included journalism philosophy poetry biography ... fantasy , and detective fiction Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox He wrote in an off-hand, whimsical prose studded with startling formulations. For example: "Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it." He is one of the few Christian thinkers who are equally admired and quoted by both liberal and conservative Christians, and indeed by many non-Christians. Chesterton's own theological and political views were far too nuanced to fit comfortably under the " liberal " or " conservative " banner. And in his own words he cast aspersions on the labels saying, "The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected."

6. G.K. Chesterton, A Starter Course Gilbert Keith ( G.K. ) chesterton was born on May 29th, 1874 on Campden Hill, Kensington (which I gather is in England somewhere). And he wrote, and wrote, http://www.river.org/~dhawk/chesterton.html

A Starter Course on G.K. Chesterton Why the Interest? My father was an English major at college at the time that I was learning to read. He gave me a reading list, and no, Chesterton wasn't on it, though it seems like everyone else was: Swift, Orwell, Wells, Verne, Defoe, etc. I read everything, although a lot of it I didn't understand. Then when I was thirteen or so I checked out "The Father Brown Omnibus" one day and I was hooked. I'd never read anything like it. I had never read a writer whose writing made me think, "This person knows how to write!" Chesterton was that first find. Chesterton also wrote a column for the Illustrated London News from 1905 until 1936 and I've been reading that for the past four years. That's there I get most of the quotes that I link to below. It gives a different feel to that section of world history. Brief bio sketch Gilbert Keith ("G.K.") Chesterton was born on May 29th, 1874 on Campden Hill, Kensington (which I gather is in England somewhere). And he wrote, and wrote, and wrote ... cranking out newspaper columns, books, poetry, reviews, etc. At some point (Sunday, July 30, 1922 if you're curious) he converted from the Anglican Church to the Roman Catholic Church, which really ticked off his good friend, George Bernard Shaw. He died on June 14th of 1936, a Tuesday. He's best known for three types of work: The Father Brown series, a Roman Catholic cleric as a detective who tried to understand the psychology behind the mystery.

He is probably best known for his series about the priest-detective Father Brown who appeared in 50 stories. Between 1900 and 1936 Chesterton published some one hundred books. "The vast mass of humanity, with their vast mass of idle books and idle words, have never doubted and never will doubt that courage is splendid, that fidelity is noble, that distressed ladies should be rescued, and vanquished enemies spared. There are a large number of cultivated persons who doubt these maxims of daily life, just there are a large number of persons who believe they are the Prince of Wales; and I am told that both classes of people are entertaining conversationalists."

Around 1893 he had gone through a crisis of skepticism and depression and during this period he experimented with the Ouija board and grew fascinated with diabolism. In 1895 Chesterton left University College without a degree and worked for the London publisher Redway, and T. Fisher Unwin (1896-1902). Chesterton later renewed his Christian faith; the courtship of his future wife, Frances Blogg, whom he married in 1901 also helped him to pull himself out of his spiritual crisis.

Chesterton and, of course, of some books by G. K. Chesterton A Few Words About G. K. Chesterton Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a giant of a man, physically and metaphorically. He began writing at the outset of the twentieth century, and graced that century with a most abundant output: a hundred or so books (including five novels), plus contributions to a couple of hundred others, hundreds of poems (including the epic Ballad of the White Horse ), five plays, two hundred or so short stories (including the renowned Father Brown stories), and over four thousand newspaper essays. (All data from the American Chesterton Society). Chesterton was a man of strong beliefs whose writings argued for those beliefs with extraordinary vigor and profound intellectual capability. His overarching belief was in Christianity, and that belief powered much of his writing, including his one work clearly in our fields, The Man Who Was Thursday (I say " clearly in our fields" because several of his books that are not inescapably fantasy rather read like it, notably

His writing remains as timely and as timeless today as when it first appeared, even though much of it was published in throw away paper.

19. G K Chesterton, Writer Gilbert Keith chesterton was born in London in 1874. He became a wellknown writer and lecturer. He was officially received into the Roman Catholic Church http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/183.html

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London in 1874. He became a well-known writer and lecturer. He was officially received into the Roman Catholic Church in 1922, but had been writing from a Romanist point of view for a long time before that. Some of his writing is specifically Roman Catholic, and (in my judgement) he sometimes attacks Protestant positions without troubling to understand them. However, much of his writing is "generic Christian," and is read with profit and delight by many theologically well-informed Protestant readers. If you are a Protestant, you will have to read him with your mind in gear, but then you have no business to read anything whatsoever with your mind out of gear. Chesterton died 14 June 1936, but is here commemorated two days earlier because the later days are taken. One of his concerns was literary criticism. He wrote books on Robert Browning and Charles Dickens, with prefaces to the individual Dickens novels. He also wrote books and monographs on George Bernard Shaw, William Blake, William Cobbett, Robert Louis Stevenson, and The Victorian Age in Literature. He also wrote fiction, his best known work being a series of detective short stories featuring a priest, Father Brown, who (somewhat after the matter of the Tv sleuth Columbo) tends to give the appearance of being a harmless, bumbling, absent-minded fellow, but who always notices the detail that enables him to solve the case. Often, he connects the reasoning that solves the case with the sort of reasoning that is involved in Christian life. (I suspect that Harry Kemelman, author of
