Finished Reading “Heretics”

  "G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on  "heretics" - those who pride themselves on their superiority to Christian views - Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds... those who hold incomplete and inadequate views about "life, the universe, and everything." He is, in short, criticizing all that host of non-Christian views of reality, as he demonstrated in his follow-up book Orthodoxy. The book is both an easy read and a difficult read. But he manages to demonstrate, among other things, that our new 21st century heresies are really not new because he himself deals with most of them." (Goodreads)

Authority of the Bible

"Trying to destroy or defend the Word of God is like two men with toothpicks on either side of the Rock of Gilbraltar. One is trying to push it over with his tootpick and the other is trying to hold it up with his toothpick. The Rock is going to stay firm regardless of either man."

--Doc Henry, Lake Ray Hubbard Bible Church
