G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936), was one of the great Catholic writers of the twentieth century. He brought a distinctive Catholic perspective to scores of books and articles even to the genre of detective novels in the famous Father Brown mysteries. As this collection shows, Chesterton s writing contains a spiritual dimension. In his ability to combine matters of great seriousness with great humor the contours of his distinctive and paradoxical spirituality emerge.

Father Brown was G K Chesterton's most famous invention, the pudding-faced priest who solves crimes by using his knowledge of human evil and his ability to enter the mind of the criminal. First created in 1910, he was Chesterton's encapsulation of the atmosphere of that age, and his protest against its complacency and materialism. Later stories reflect the tensions preceding the Great War, the brittle sensationalism of the 1920s, and the ideological challenges of inter-war Europe. But the quiet Sussex priest inhabits his own world above all, a world of masterfully created characters and landscapes. His simplicity cuts through the complex and often bizarre puzzles which seem at first to defy all explanation. This edition presents 28 of the stories, chosen and introduced by their finest critic, W W Robson. His work brings together a lifetime's critical appreciation of Chesterton and includes the establishment of new texts for some of the stories. This book is intended for general readers; students from A-level upwards of short story and of early twentieth-century literature.

The "enlightened" pursuit of "progressive" philosophy, science, technology, politics and culture have fed an institutional worldview that continues to unravel what's left of the historic unifier in Western civilization - what G.K. Chesterton called the "idea of wonder" in Christianity. This worldview, devoid of the Creator and Savior, splinters and re-imagines the plain text of Scripture and the teachings of the Church in a Byzantine effort to replace good and evil with "It could be better" and "It's not so bad." "The human race," Chesterton writes in Heretics, "fell once and, in falling, gained knowledge of good and of evil. Now we have fallen a second time, and only the knowledge of evil remains to us." Heretics reminds people how to measure their conduct on the basis of good and evil, the light and the dark.
