The Everlasting Man

G. K. Chesterton

Chesterton's answer to H. G. Wells's Outline of History, and the book that, by C. S. Lewis's account, did most to shape his conversion. Part I treats man as the strange creature who draws, buries and worships, and who cannot be explained as one more animal; Part II treats Christ as a figure who cannot be explained as one more teacher. A history of religion told from the cave at the beginning to the cave at Bethlehem.
