BCs of the Christian Life – The Ultimate Antho-
logy of the Prince of Paradox, published in the
US by Ave Maria Press, is an anthology on
an unmatched author, whose piercing, yet at the same
time enthralling style, captivates readers looking for
works that challenge their rational comfort.
Right in his introduction, Peter Kreeft points out three
people who were absolutely unique and distinctive by their
personalities and intellect: Jesus Christ, Socrates, and G. K.
Chesterton. It’s an enlightening statement, when it comes to
Chesterton, yet what may to the average reader as a paradoxi-
cal presumption is nothing but the cold, hard truth, and what
may seem unquestionable is indeed a paradox. That is the true
paradox.
