The Everlasting Man Dale Ahlquist - Chesterton writes about Christ and the things people say about him.

Orthodoxy Dale Ahlquist - "Orthodoxy" is perhaps Chesterton's greatest work, yet he stumbled across orthodox belief almost by accident.

The Catholic Church and Conversion Dale Ahlquist - "It's one thing to conclude that Catholicism is good and another to conclude that it is right. It is one thing to conclude that it is right, and another to conclude that it is always right."

The Thing: Why I am a Catholic Dale Ahlquist - Chesterton contrasts "the Thing" (the Catholic Church) to all other things-worldly philosophies, business, nationalism, Protestantism, agnosticism, etc.

The Well and the Shallows
Dale Ahlquist - The Catholic Church is the well-everything else is the shallows.

St. Francis of Assisi
Dale Ahlquist - Chesterton tells about the man who "cared chiefly for the best kind of giving which is called thanksgiving."

St. Thomas Aquinas
Dale Ahlquist - "To this question, 'Is there anything?' St. Thomas begins by answering 'Yes'; if he began by answering 'No', it would not be the beginning, but the end."
