As with all of his writings, there are some true gems to be found, but for the most part - it seemed a little too flighty for a beginner to really enjoy. His handling of "the Calvinism of today" left quite a bit to be desired as well. Chesterton is typically not one for straw-man arguments, but he uncharacteristically approaches Calvinism in that very way (not only in this book, but peppered in amongst his other writings as well). That being said, he is a "rock star" in his own right, and well worth being read. I bought a copy of Chesterston’s “What’s Wrong with the World” this summer and was a little let down.

I'm esp. a fan of Lewis. In fact, I'm currently reading his "Great Divorce." Thanks for this info, Dr. Moore. I’m esp. a fan of Lewis. In fact, I’m currently reading his “Great Divorce.”
