The Strangest Story in the World: G.K. Chesterton & the IncarnationC.S. Lewis famously credited G.K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man as a key step in his turn from atheism to Christian faith. The book audaciously surveyed the broad sweep of human history, then zeroed in on the Incarnation of Christ. How, Chesterton asked, could such a mysterious and startling event come to be known as the center point of history? And how did this intellectual mystic offer a fresh path into this story for so many? In this episode, we dive into one of Chesterton's greatest works and explore the mystery of the incarnation of Jesus Christ alongside Dale Ahlquist, one of the world's leading experts on G.K. Chesterton:“Philosophy and religion come together for the first time when Jesus comes. Why is that so strange? Because the spiritual life and the intellectual life have finally run into each other in a big way. And how does it come? It comes in the most unexpected way possible.”Our 100th podcast episode illustrates what we do here at the Trinity Forum: keeping the Christian intellectual tradition alive, while also nurturing new growth – for our own time, and for future generations.This podcast is an edited version of our Online Conversation recorded in 2024.

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.

Dale Ahlquist, President of the G.K. Chesterton Society, joins John to discuss the lasting relevance of Chesterton's works in today's world. Ahlquist highlights how Chesterton's observations on issues like government power, the virtues of faith, hope, and charity, and the decline of reason in modern society, remain remarkably pertinent. With his trademark wit, Chesterton was able to tackle profound topics while remaining accessible, blending humour with intellectual depth to appeal to both casual listeners and thoughtful readers. Ahlquist emphasises how Chesterton's wisdom speaks to the challenges of our time, offering timeless insights. Ahlquist also explores Chesterton's distinctive views on education and localism. As a strong critic of modern educational practices, Chesterton advocated a return to traditional wisdom and decentralised power, arguing for more personal control over local issues. Ahlquist discusses the success of the Chesterton Academy model, which embodies these principles by promoting a classical education focused on truth, beauty, and the interconnectedness of knowledge. Throughout the interview, Ahlquist showcases Chesterton's ability to critique modern thought with both seriousness and wit, offering a hopeful and lighthearted perspective on life's biggest questions.

Dale Ahlquist, President of the  GK Chesterton Society, and I dissect the profound impact of  'Localism' as the antidote to the swelling tide of globalism. Prepare to uncover the treasures and enduring wisdom of the Catholic Churchs social teaching, offering a blueprint for ownership and independence that stands in stark contrast with the shortcomings of both unbridled capitalism and socialism.Feel the pulse of community empowerment as we delve into the crucial balance of personal and societal obligations. Our conversation will transport you to the heart of local economies and the essence of democracy, where the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity take center stage. Together, we'll navigate the challenging waters of preserving the core pillars of society—marriage, family, and faith—against the backdrop of political and economic centralization. Be inspired by tangible success stories from around the world, including Senator Marco Rubio's reflections on "Localism in American Politics" and the influence of small ownership on a thriving economy.Finally, our episode transcends the theoretical, offering practical insights and strategies for nurturing a fulfilling life. Discover the transformative power of connecting with our immediate surroundings, prioritizing family, self-sufficiency, and community cohesion. We'll tackle the pressing issues of technology's grip and the true meaning of wealth, leaving you with a renewed perspective on how to foster a more grounded existence.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Lk 16:19-31  - Jesus said to the Pharisees: "There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.' Abraham replied, 'My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented. Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established to prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to go from our side to yours or from your side to ours.' He said, 'Then I beg you, father, send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.' But Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.' He said, 'Oh no, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' Then Abraham said, 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.'"

Called the Prince of Paradox G.K. Chesterton was one of the greatest thinkers and writers of the 20th Century. JRR Tolkien memorized all 143 lines of Chesterton's "Lepanto". C.S. Lewis once said, “the best popular defense of the full Christian position I know is G. K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man.” Ronald Knox, the Scholar and Biblical Translator, homilizing at his funeral said, "All of this generation has grown up under Chesterton's influence so completely that we do not even know when we are thinking Chesterton".

G. K. Chesterton was one of the dominating figures of the London literary scene in the early 20th century. Not only did he get into lively discussions with anyone who would debate him, including his friend, frequent verbal sparring partner, and noted Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, but he wrote about seemingly every topic, in every genre, from journalism to plays, poetry to crime novels. "He said something about everything and he said it better than anyone else," writes Dale Ahlquist, president of the American Chester Society. Most of Chesterton's literary output was nonfiction, including thousands of columns for various periodicals, but today he is best remembered for his fictional work—a mystery series about Father Brown, a Catholic priest and amateur detective.Chesterton's first published books were of poetry. Ian Boyd points to a "close connection between his poetry and his everyday journalism," concluding: "In this sense, T.S. Eliot's description of Chesterton's poetry as 'first-rate journalistic balladry' turns out to have been particularly perceptive, since it is a reminder about the essential character of all Chesterton's work. In his verse, as in all his writings, his first aim was to comment on the political and social questions of the day."-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe
