HERETICS G. K. CHESTERTON — A Classic! — Includes Illustrations by 18th Century artist, William Turner — Includes an Active Table of Contents and NCX Navigation Publisher: Available in Paperback: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-072-2 Nothing more strangely indicates an enormous and silent evil of modern society than the extraordinary use which is made nowadays of the word "orthodox." In former days the heretic was proud of not being a heretic. It was the kingdoms of the world and the police and the judges who were heretics. He was orthodox. He had no pride in having rebelled against them; they had rebelled against him. The armies with their cruel security, the kings with their cold faces, the decorous processes of State, the reasonable processes of law—all these like sheep had gone astray. The man was proud of being orthodox, was proud of being right. If he stood alone in a howling wilderness he was more than a man; he was a church. He was the centre of the universe; it was round him that the stars swung. All the tortures torn out of forgotten hells could not make him admit that he was heretical. But a few modern phrases have made him boast of it. He says, with a conscious laugh, "I suppose I am very heretical," and looks round for applause. The word "heresy" not only means no longer being wrong; it practically means being clear-headed and courageous. The word "orthodoxy" not only no longer means being right; it practically means being wrong. All this can mean one thing, and one thing only. It means that people care less for whether they are philosophically right. For obviously a man ought to confess himself crazy before he confesses himself heretical. The Bohemian, with a red tie, ought to pique himself on his orthodoxy. The dynamiter, laying a bomb, ought to feel that, whatever else he is, at least he is orthodox.

He Predicted Our Current Moral Decline - A Hundred Years Ago Chesterton's compilation of essays in Heretics discusses the difference in Orthodoxy and Heretics, rational vs. irrational, and denial vs. affirmation. He questions the reason for the existence of man and the universe and calls out many prominent figures in the artistic and literary fields for their unorthodox ideas; thus labeling them heretics. He will have you thinking of favorite authors like Rudyard Kipling, Oscar Wilde, and H.G. Wells in a new light, challenging their ideals and morals. In his first essay, Chesterton describes his understanding of the words Orthodox and Heretic as they apply to, and have changed in, the modern period. Chesterton argues that in modernity, ""The word 'orthodoxy' not only no longer means being right; it practically means being wrong"". He continues to write that society no longer tolerates a man's life philosophy or religion, yet is increasingly absorbed in ""art for art's sake"". Get Your Copy Now.

This work is one of Pagitt's most famous and was originally written in over 400 pages. This "cliff note" version describes the most important aspects of various heresies. Pagitt succinctly covers heretical groups such as the Jesuits, Socinians, Arminians, Anabaptists, Pelagians, Seperatists and others. At the end of the work is attached a public "ordinance" which the magistrate enforced on heretics of the day. Added to this volume is a very important sermon on what the bible teaches concerning heresy. Sedgwick explains the nature of heresy, the danger of heresy, and then concludes with three uses in application. This is not a scan or facsimile, has been updated in modern English for easy reading and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

Heretics belongs to yet another area of literature in which Chesterton excelled. A fun-loving and gregarious man, he was nevertheless troubled in his adolescence by thoughts of suicide. In Christianity, he found the answers to the dilemmas and paradoxes he saw in life. Other books in that same series include his 1908 Orthodoxy (written in response to attacks on this book) and his 1925 The Everlasting Man. The contents include Introductory Remarks on the Importance of Orthodoxy-On The Negative Spirit-On Mr. Rudyard Kipling and Making the World Small-Mr Bernard Shaw-Mr H.G Wells and the Giants- Christmas and the Esthetes-Omar and the Sacred Vine-The Mildness of the Yellow Press-The Moods of Mr. George Moore-On Scandal and Simplicity-Science and the Savages-Paganism and Mr. Lowes Dickson-Celts and Celtophiles-On Certain Modern Writers and the Institution of Marriages-On Smart Novelist and Smart Set-On Mr. McCabe and a Devine Frivolity-On the Wit of Whistler-The Fallacy of the Young Nation- Slum Novelists and the Slum-Concluding Remarks on the Importance of Orthodoxy.

"Padura’s Heretics spans and defies literary categories . . . ingenious." —Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air A sweeping novel of art theft, anti-Semitism, contemporary Cuba, and crime from a renowned Cuban author, Heretics is Leonardo Padura's greatest detective work yet. In 1939, the Saint Louis sails from Hamburg into Havana’s port with hundreds of Jewish refugees seeking asylum from the Nazi regime. From the docks, nine-year-old Daniel Kaminsky watches as the passengers, including his mother, father, and sister, become embroiled in a fiasco of Cuban corruption. But the Kaminskys have a treasure that they hope will save them: a small Rembrandt portrait of Christ. Yet six days later the vessel is forced to leave the harbor with the family, bound for the horrors of Europe. The Kaminskys, along with their priceless heirloom, disappear. Nearly seven decades later, the Rembrandt reappears in an auction house in London, prompting Daniel’s son to travel to Cuba to track down the story of his family’s lost masterpiece. He hires the down-on-his-luck private detective Mario Conde, and together they navigate a web of deception and violence in the morally complex city of Havana. In Heretics, Leonardo Padura takes us from the tenements and beaches of Cuba to Rembrandt’s gloomy studio in seventeenth-century Amsterdam, telling the story of people forced to choose between the tenets of their faith and the realities of the world, between their personal desires and the demands of their times. A grand detective story and a moving historical drama, Padura’s novel is as compelling, mysterious, and enduring as the painting at its center.
