I add one purely pedantic note which comes, as a note naturally should, at
the beginning of the book. These essays are concerned only to discuss the actual fact that the central Christian theology (sufficiently summarized
in the Apostles’ Creed) is the best root of energy and sound ethics. They are not intended to discuss the very fascinating but quite different
question of what is the present seat of authority for the proclamation of that creed. When the word “orthodoxy” is used here it means the Apostles’
Creed, as understood by everybody calling himself Christian until a very short time ago and the general historic conduct of those who held such a
creed.
See here for more on the Apostles' Creed.
Orthodoxy, first published in 1908, by G. K. Chesterton, is in the public domain, and available from Project Gutenberg. The previous post in this series is here.
Thanks for reading! Read Chesterton.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
