New Reading Booklet and Gift Collections
The newest Trinity Forum Reading is The Strangest Story in the World by G. K. Chesterton with a foreword by the Trinity Forum’s Founding Chairman and Senior Fellow, Alonzo L. McDonald. The Reading features excerpts from The Everlasting Man, Chesterton’s celebrated and unconventional take on human history.
The Everlasting Man was first released in 1925 and has had an enduring influence—not least as a primary intellectual milestone in the conversion of C. S. Lewis. Our selections include Chesterton’s main arguments that focus on two things that are “altogether strange and unique” in our experience: “The first of these is the creature called man, and the second is the man called Christ.” He follows humanity from the first evidences of the cave-man to the birth of Christ—“the God in the cave” at Bethlehem—and the dawn of a new world. As McDonald reminds us in his Foreword, “this is, as Chesterton readily admits, the strangest story in the world, made stranger still by the history of the church that has followed.”
The booklet is 40 pages and includes a discussion guide. It will be shipping in November 2009. You can order copies now at our online store.
We are also pleased to introduce three small thematic collections of our Trinity Forum Readings booklets—Great Questions, Great Answers, and Great Courage. The new collections are priced at $20 or less and join our other discounted Readings sets—Great Stories, Great Thoughts, Great Lives, and the full collections of in-print Readings. Don’t forget that the larger Great Stories, Great Thoughts, and Great Lives collections also include one of our elegant slipcases.
The Great Questions Collection offers five titles that raise the deep human questions while leaving space for answers to emerge. The Great Answers Collection includes five Readings about Jesus. And the Great Courage Collection focuses on faith that can endure deep trials. You can read more about these collections and our other resources at our online store.
