Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) published some 116 books which include compilations of his voluminous journalism, novels, biography, history, criticism, Christian apologetics, poetry, and two plays. Many of his novels have the genuine marks of genius. His books on Saint Thomas Aquinas and Dickens (with whom he had a considerable affinity) are considered classics in their fields. His approach to apologetics is completely unique. His work is characterized by tremendous zest and energy, a mastery of paradox, a robust humor, and forthright devotion.
