Product Description:
This Nelson Royal Classic includes two famous classical works by G.K. Chesterton, Heretics and Orthodoxy. In response to the wrong doctrinal teaching of many of his contemporaries, G.K. Chesterton takes readers back to the 'fundamentals' in Heretics. In the compelling work,Orthodoxy, Chesterton provides a look at what some have described as his own spiritual autobiography. Of these two books, they describe some of a Christian's core beliefs and capture the essence of the Christian experience. They remain an essential part of every Christian's library, and continue to challenge the way we conceive our faith and our world.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Christianity Vol. 1
As he himself affirmed, Chesterton was criticized on numerous occasions for maintaining a seemingly irreverent or flippant tone and attitude while writing about subjects that inherently demand the utmost sincerity. To superficially read Heretics might be to understand the apparent validity of such criticism. On the surface it seems as if Chesterton could not have cared much less about the philosophies of the prominent individuals that he attacks as heretical throughout this work, let alone the vague ...

Rating:  - $6.99 here, or $0.00 on Gutenberg
The company asking $6.99 for this public domain book, widely available on the Web, is called BiblioBazaar.
Bizarre would better fit.
.99 is, perhaps, reasonable for a repackaged public domain book, though really Kindle users should just find unencrypted Mobipocket files and load them using the USB to their Kindle.
In the meantime, caveat emptor!
Rating: - Early Review
Just begain reading "Heretics." I wish I had found this book, and Chesterton, 30 years ago when I was 20 instead of now when I am 50.
Ideas and actions can take decades sometimes a century or more to "bloom."
During 1905, Chesterton identifies errors that have bloomed and guide/justify our day's thinking & action -- runious errors.
Can't wait to finish.
Should be required reading.
Rating: - Quotable as always
Chesterton is always a joy to read. Precise, poetic, inspired prose and a razor-sharp mind.
Rating: - Heretics
A fantastic book by a great writer, highly recommend it for anyone interested in Apologetics, or just fun argument should definitely read it. While this review will hardly do justice to him, Chesterton is amazingly complex, and while sometimes incorrect, offensive, or fallacious, he is always intelligent, witty, and generally has an opinion very much worth listening to. Highly recommended.
