The Man Who Was Thursday is considered by many critics to be G.K. Chesterton’s masterpiece. Published in 1908, it has never gone out of print. It’s simultaneously a comedy, a mystery, a philosophical action-thriller, a spoof on anarchism and German philosophy, and a serial romp from the real into the surreal and back. The guys talk about the book, its themes, and its relevance for today. Spoiler alert: you can’t deal with the book without giving away some of the plot, but hopefully not too much. And even with the spoilers, the book has a lot more going on than just the plotline.

This sounds like a must read prophecy

I've read it at least twice. There's more there than I could get out of it. It starts out as a common detective novel and ends with one walking amoung the stars. Every chapter has its own weather setting.

Just read it today. What a great book!

One of the Great Edwardian Novels and one of Greatest Theological Endings of all time. One of my most surprising finds... Napoleon of Notting hill is a cracker too...

😮this is a hilarious story. I'm not really willing to accept that it agrees with you about antifa being elitist nincompoops, but - it is gorgeously written in tight epithets of Voltairean humour.

I disagree wholeheartedly I would neither give a bohemian a book by Stroeble or by Chesterton or by anybody else. None of that contains the power of God unto salvation. Only God's Word and the Gospel contained therein have that supernatural capacity. That is what I share with bohemians, hiphoppers, status-enamored executive types, and purple-haired, hyper-feminist lesbian tranies. And then I get out of the way of the Holy Spirit.

And you don't believe books written by christian authors are inspired by their reading of God's word?? Who are you to place limits on God's actions?

@jackuber7358 Год назад

@@goyonman9655 I most certainly do put those very limitations on anything but Scripture being inspired and thus salvific. But it really doesn't matter what I do or think. It is what the Bible itself says and being breathed out by God and Jesus being God and the prophets and apostles who wrote on the subject in Scripture all being in agreement that only Scripture is inspired and that Scripture is closed, that is what matters. So in answer to your flippant and uneducated and obviously trolling question, it is God Himself that has put those limits in place. Not me. And not anyone else.

@@jackuber7358 Please tell me at what point, your dense brain obsereved me pointing out that those "books" are "God-breathed" or "salvific"
