    2025/05/14

    Welcome to the second book of Ignatius Press: Off the Shelf! Join the dynamic trio of Father Fessio, Joseph Pearce, and Vivian Dudro as they unpack one of G.K. Chesterton’s greatest works Everlasting Man. They begin by covering Chesterton’s thesis namely that Christ stands out from all man similar to how man stands out from all other animals. They then highlight Chesterton’s profound and often paradoxical wisdom in chapters 1 and 2.
