Favorite Book Friday

Heretic by G. K. Chesterton a collection of 20 essays, published by Chesterton in 1905. I didn't know some of the names mentioned, and in those essays I focused on how his time parallels with ours. It was interesting to read his opinion of several of the names I knew. It was fascinating to see the world of 1905 through Chesterton's eyes. Some of his opinions would fit right in. I didn't agree with him on some things, but on others I thought him spot on. It might be interesting to take a class or have a study group focused on sharing insights. Some of his observations are delightful nonsense and sometimes he's making light of nonsense. I bought the book in paperback (it's free on Kindle) to do my own study.
