The Everlasting Man - G. K. Chesterton

\n \nComplete edition of The Everlasting Man by G. K. Chesterton. Chesterton successfully challenges the view that man is just another evolutionary animal, and that Jesus Christ was only human. C. S. Lewis said it was the best popular defense of the full Christian position. Find out why in this complete reproduction of the 1925 British Edition.\n \n \n Deep common sense on every page, it includes great thoughts such as these: \n The life of man is a story; an adventure story; and in our vision the same is true even of the story of God. \n Atheists may continue to war with Christianity, but it will be as they war with nature; as they war with the landscape, as they war with the skies.\n \nWitty, deep, and positively entertaining, no student of thought should be without this historic book. This edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price. \n \nTABLE OF CONTENTS \n PREFATORY NOTE 3 \n INTRODUCTION: THE PLAN OF THIS BOOK 3 \n PART I: ON THE CREATURE CALLED MAN 8 \n CHAPTER 1 THE MAN IN THE CAVE 8 \n CHAPTER 2 PROFESSORS AND PREHISTORIC MEN 15 \n CHAPTER 3 THE ANTIQUITY OF CIVILISATION 22 \n CHAPTER 4 GOD AND COMPARATIVE RELIGION 33 \n CHAPTER 5 MAN AND MYTHOLOGIES 41 \n CHAPTER 6 THE DEMONS AND THE PHILOSOPHERS 48 \n CHAPTER 7 THE WAR OF THE GODS AND DEMONS 57 \n CHAPTER 8 THE END OF THE WORLD 64 \n PART II: ON THE MAN CALLED CHRIST 70 \n CHAPTER 1 THE GOD IN THE CAVE 70 \n CHAPTER 2 THE RIDDLES OF THE GOSPEL 77 \n CHAPTER 3 THE STRANGEST STORY IN THE WORD 83 \n CHAPTER 4 THE WITNESS OF THE HERETICS 89 \n CHAPTER 5 THE ESCAPE FROM PAGANISM 97 \n CHAPTER 6 THE FIVE DEATHS OF THE FAITH 105 \n CONCLUSION: THE SUMMARY OF THIS BOOK 110 \n APPENDIX I: ON PREHISTORIC MAN 114 \n APPENDIX II: ON AUTHORITY AND ACCURACY 115\n \n \n
