Orthodoxy: Introduction by N.D. Wilson

Well, Chesterton is wonderfully, gratefully brilliant here, as always. Orthodoxy is one of the finest works of modern literature, in my opinion, and is my favorite work of Christian apologetics. Of course, no one's writing is perfectly inspired (or we'd be adding to the scriptures today) and we have over 100 years to bridge to our author now, so N. D. Wilson provides some compass direction to G. K.'s discursive, merry wanderings: both to appreciate the depth of wonder Chesterton passes on to the reader (which has profoundly affected so many of us, including Wilson) as well to assert a cautionary note (as even magnanimous GKC may fall prey to a petty response on rare occasion, here concerning Calvinism).
