G.K. Chesterton is one of the most quoted writers in the English language, yet one of the least studied. He foresaw and wrote about the issues Catholics struggle with today: social injustice, the culture of death, the decline of the arts, assaults on religion, and attacks on the family and on the dignity of the human person. Chesterton is responsible for many conversions and was influential in the lives of many prominent Catholics in the 20th century.
