The Everlasting Man

De: G. K. Chesterton

Narrado por: John Franklyn-Robbins

Few people had a more profound effect on Christianity in the 20th century than G. K. Chesterton. The Everlasting Man, written in response to an anti-Christian history of humans penned by H.G. Wells, is considered Chesterton’s masterpiece. In it, he explains Christ’s place in history, asserting that the Christian myth carries more weight than other mythologies for one simple reason—it is the truth.

GK Chesterton's clarity is pristine

Love it. Really good thought process, comparing the religious vs anti-religion world views. Well Done!

An Everlasting Story

An excellent book, Chesterton embues a style of wit to describe the story of man, and of Christendom. It illuminated thoughts that had been on my mind, and it certainly has left a lasting impression.

History and Jesus Christ

Over all exceptional, though struggled through beginning and some other areas. GK command of language and history is amazing, but sometimes my unfamiliarity required re-listening to follow the point. Definitely a fast paced history lesson and great perspective of mankind finding and re-finding Christ through the ages.

First Foray Into Chesterton

This was my first four into GK Chesterton. I picked it because it’s considered to be his magnum opus, his greatest work. While I enjoyed the story immensely, and the narration was great,it’s not for the comfort reader, and it’s not something you might dive into willy-nilly. It is however, worth every second of investment.

The folly of our world

This book is very pertinent to our current state in the world were very dismal world views are asserting themselves by appealing to a stale secularism, shrouded in scientism, that means to separate men from his God given reason and freedom to explore reality. The clamor for submission to the new ideas proposed by this secular society are deafening, and conformity is demanded of all; just abandon your freedom to think by yourself, and follow the pied piper of folly.
The narrator of this book is excellent, and makes it a pure joy to listen intently as it reveals the beautiful intellect of Chesterton.
