Денис Гаврилов - Гилберт Кийт Честертон - Ортодоксия - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

Chesterton's Orthodoxy is one of the best apologies for Christianity ever written. Here Chesterton's brilliant wit, common sense and ease of writing reach true genius. “Orthodoxy” appeared in response to Chesterton’s accusation that in his book “Heretics” there are many calls to turn to his philosophy, but there is no philosophy itself. "Orthodoxy" is Chesterton's "philosophy". This is not a church treatise, but something like a careless autobiography...

Chesterton Gilbert Keith (1874-1936) - Christian apologist, classic of world literature, known primarily for stories about Fr. Brown. A brilliant humorist, paradoxist, polemicist, journalist. The author of several hundred poems, 200 short stories, 4000 essays, a number of plays, novels “The Man Who Was Thursday”, “The Ball and the Cross”, “The Flying Tavern”, etc. He was, first of all, a defender of obvious things: love of life, joy, gratitude, beauty, common sense. In his youth, seeing that modernity calls all this into question, and Christianity, on the other hand, is the very focus of these ideals, Chesterton became one of the most prominent apologists of the faith of the 20th century. His apology was realized in two forms: artistic (primarily the detective series about Father Brown) and theoretical (the treatises “Eternal Man”, “Orthodoxy”, etc.) - and it is difficult to say which of them is more fascinating: humor, paradox and lightness letters are equally characteristic of both, and the action of the first and the turns of thought of the second are worth each other.

Concerning the nature of his "Orthodoxy" Chesierton writes: "In these essays I wish only to discuss the undoubted fact that Christian doctrine, expressed in the Apostles' Creed, is the best source of effective joy and sound ethics. The word "orthodoxy" here means the Creed, as it was understood until recently by everyone who considered himself a Christian, and the usual, historically known behavior of those who adhered to it, the size of the book forces me to limit myself to talking about what I received from this faith, and not touch on the issue that is so often discussed. — where we got our faith from.
