Chesterton good-naturedly takes on contemporaries Rudyard Kipling, H. G.

Novelist, poet, essayist, and journalist, Chesterton was perhaps best known for his Father Brown detective stories.

His \u003ci\u003eEverlasting Man\u003c\/i\u003e, which set out a Christian outline of history, was one of the factors that wore down Lewis’ resistance to Christianity. Chesterton was one of the first defenders of orthodoxy to use humor as a weapon.
