Chesterton, G K: The Everlasting Man, v1, 12 October 2009.
G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936)
The Everlasting Man (1925) Chesterton writes about the emergence of Christianity and its relationship with Paganism, saying, “its thesis is that those who say that Christ stands side by side with similar myths, and his religion side by side with similar religions, are only repeating a very stale formula contradicted by a very striking fact.” To some extent he is also contradicting H G Wells’s view of history, to which he alludes from time to time. The source was Project Gutenberg Australia, and the quality was not particularly good.
