Lecture
St Paul: Sitzmann Hall 207
A natural controversialist, G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) seemed to write about everything: Christian apologetics, philosophy, social issues, politics, literature and art. He was also a poet, short story writer, and novelist. In the course of his life he was an atheist, a Protestant, and finally a Catholic. In all things, he brought his own peculiar joyful genius to his writings. In this course, we will study representative samples of Chesterton’s voluminous writings both to understand and evaluate his approach to many different areas of study, and also to see how, ultimately, his Christian faith provided a unifying intellectual vision of reality. Works to be studied could include Orthodoxy, The Everlasting Man, The Thing, St. Francis, The Man who was Thursday, and What's Wrong with the World. Students may not take both 4XX [two credit course] and 4XX [four credit course].
