Part 1, "Introductory Remarks on the Importance of Orthodoxy""Heretics," a series of essays by Gilbert Keith Chesterton.Book Theme: "Thaxted," written by Gustav Holst, arranged by Kevin MacLeodSeries Theme: Pachelbel's "Canon in D," performed by Owen PoteatChesterton had a sense of humor, had a sense of drama, and had sense.  He was a man of strong opinions, and quite willing to argue vehemently for his own opinions, even with his friends -- and they remained his friends.  Seems to me that's hard to find anymore.He wrote prolifically.  He wrote humor.  He wrote mystery novels, the Father Brown mysteries in particular.  But he also wrote his opinions, his religious opinions and his opinions about religion.  "Heretics" is a book about religion and politics, theory and fact, morals and efficiency.What I most admire about "Heretics," written a bit over a century ago, is that his arguments are exceptional, and that so many of them are still quite recognizably true.  He argues that the weakening and devaluing of re

Just wanted to give you a heads-up on my next book for the series.I'll be recording a book called "Heretics," by G.K. Chesterton.  It's not a story, it's a collection of essays on religion and politics, ethics and morality, heresy and orthodoxy.  These are serious topics, yet the book manages to be clever and funny, I think, intelligent and witty and not at all vehement as discussions of these topics tend to be these days.Chesterton was an intelligent man who didn't take himself too seriously.  He was certainly willing to disagree vehemently, even with his friends, but they remained his friends, and he continued to admire and respect them, even while disagreeing with them.  Seems like one doesn't see that much these days.I hope you enjoy the book -- but if you feel strongly about only listening to stories, you'll have to exercise your judgement on this one.  And it's a long enough book that I'll be doing it, probably, through the end of the year.Hope you'll stick around.  Give it a chance.  But make up your o
