The Everlasting Man

Challenging H.G. Wells' views on human evolution and the significance of Jesus Christ, this work presents a compelling narrative of humanity's spiritual journey, particularly within Western civilization. Chesterton contrasts his perspective with a more linear historical development, offering a unique defense of Christianity. Ross Douthat praises it as a powerful modern argument for the faith, emphasizing the engaging and persuasive nature of Chesterton's style, which invites readers to reconsider their beliefs and potentially embrace conversion.
