G. K. Chesterton (Gilbert Keith Chesterton) was an English writer, lay theologian, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, literary, art critic, and biographer, and Christian apologist.
Chesterton is well known for his reasoned apologetics. Even those who disagreed with him recognized the wide appeal of works such as Orthodoxy. Chesterton, as a political thinker, cast aspersions on both Progressivism and Conservatism, saying, "The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected."
George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" according to Time, said of him, "He was a man of colossal genius”.
Chesterton also wrote fiction. His best-known character is the priest-detective Father Brown, who appeared only in short stories, while The Man Who Was Thursday is arguably his best-known novel.
