G.K. Chesterton was a brilliant author and apologist. His conservative Christian views often brought him into conflict with his contemporaries, most of whom were neither Christian nor conservative. He would sometimes even debate them publicly, and it was said of him, “...to argue with Chesterton is to lose.” Heretics was the first of his written apologetics, and was authored in response to his critics. “ I wish to deal with my most distinguished contemporaries, not personally or in a merely literary manner, but in relation to the real body of doctrine which they teach.” Who does he deal with? The main thrusts are reserved for authors Rudyard Kipling, Bernard Shaw and H.G. Wells—as well as atheist Joseph McCabe; but Chesterton gets his jabs in on the likes of John Milton, Oscar Wilde, Dante, Tolstoy, Nietzsche, Lord Byron, and more. In Heretics , Chesterton argues against Social Darwinism, utilitarianism, nihilism, humanism, eugenics, and a cornucopia of other common thoughts of his day that were contradictory to Christianity. His arguments are poignant and timeless; and he is considered by many to be one of the most knowledgeable and eloquent Christian apologists of all time.
