A surprising number of Catholic conversions in the last hundred years begin with one man: G. K. Chesterton. A modern Catholic favorite, Chesterton looms large in subjects as diverse as theology, satire, marginalia, philosophy, politics, and mystery fiction. Our guest today is Dale Ahlquist, founder and president of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton. His own journey of conversion started with Chesterton's The Everlasting Man. In our conversation, we visit many of Chesterton's ideas, concluding with the much misunderstood “distributism”—a Chestertonian practical philosophy and the subject of Ahlquist's co-edited book of essays titled Localism: Coming Home to Catholic Social Teaching. Chapters: 1:53 Conversion by way of Chesterton 6:17 Chesterton: a “complete thinker” 8:16 Reading recommendations 12:05 The opening of Everlasting Man 13:56 The ending of Man Who Was Thursday 17:16 Fairy tales and fundamental truths 19:18 “The twitch upon the thread” 22:27 Defining distributism, or localism 30:13 Localism for D.C.

Pastor Wilson has used this phrase “Chestertonian Calvinism” for a number of years to describe the flavor of Calvinism we are aiming for. It's a riff on something C.S. Lewis once said about the Puritans: “On many questions, and specially in their view of the marriage bed, the Puritans were the indulgent party; if we may without disrespect so use the name of a great Roman Catholic, a great writer, and a great man, they were much more Chestertonian than their adversaries.” In other words, far from the morose and harsh caricatures, the legacy of John Calvin is joy and gladness, astonishment and relief, and the early accusations were that, if anything, they were too celebratory when it came to the gifts of bed and board.  So as we go over the basics of what has come to be called “Calvinism,” we want to do so in an obedient and humble way, which is to say: the right kind of humility before these high doctrines ought to result in a robustly earthy joy. King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

Read by David Grizzly Smith: https://www.youtube.com/c/DavidGrizzlySmith The Everlasting Man is a Christian apologetics book written by G. K. Chesterton, published in 1925. It is, to some extent, a deliberate rebuttal of H. G. Wells' The Outline of History, disputing Wells' portrayals of human life and civilisation as a seamless development from animal life and of Jesus Christ as merely another charismatic figure. Chesterton detailed his own spiritual journey in Orthodoxy, but in this book he tries to illustrate the spiritual journey of humanity, or at least of Western civilisation. The author Ross Douthat credits that, "Chesterton's somewhat loosey-goosey outline of history doubles as the best modern argument for Christianity I've ever read. You have to give in to the Chestertonian style, but if you do, be careful — you might just be converted."

This is a rebroadcast of the video located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDDNzdFnwMI   The Transatlantic Chesterton: Reflections on the 100th Anniversary of Chesterton's Visit to America   We were honored to welcome Mr. Dale Ahlquist to deliver our 3rd Annual Notre Dame Chesterton Lecture. Dale, as is well-known, is a leading Chestertonian in the US, and perhaps the world. We were so grateful for his wonderful wit and wisdom in conveying not only the life and work of G.K. and Frances, but also Chesterton's spirit. It was a remarkable gift to all of us! Dale reflected on the striking observations Chesterton made about America and the unique perspective of America he gave us. He also shared an update on the great and growing appreciation of Chesterton outside of his native England.   chesterton.org

You might find that hard to believe given his downright exuberant YouTube videos, which he publishes not once but twice a day. The Delaware scholar, author, teacher, and classical guitarist communicates with an infectious sense of enthusiasm on topics most conservatives are down in the mouth about. In this extended interview, “Dr. Steve” gets personal, and, with Chestertonian good cheer, does a deep dive into the inspiration for Turley Talks, and why he sees secular liberalism as in its dying phase worldwide.
