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)

Lessons from the "Good Teacher"

Since the outset of His ministry on earth, Jesus has been called (among other things) “Rabbi (which means ‘teacher’)” (John 1:38). Most often Jesus is still called, “Good teacher,” or is referred to as the man revered as a model for humanity.

My question is this: what is He teaching? What is He modeling for us?


What lessons have you learned?
