THE BALL AND THE CROSS by G.K. CHESTERTON

Description

The story of a hot dispute between two Scotsmen, one a devout but naive Roman Catholic, the other a zealous but naive atheist.Their fanatically held opinions–leading to a duel that is proposed but never fought–inspire a host of comic adventures whose allegorical levels vigorously explore the debate between theism and atheism. Like most of Chesterton’s fiction, THE BALL AND THE CROSS is both witty and profound, cloaking serious religious and philosophical inquiry in sparkling humor and whimsy. Paper.
