Here is the book that converted C. S. Lewis from atheism to Christianity. This history of mankind Christ and Christianity is to some extent a conscious rebuttal of H. G.

Whereas Orthodoxy detailed Chesterton's own spiritual journey this book illustrates the spiritual journey of humanity or at least of Western civilization. A book for both mind and spirit.
