'''Gilbert Keith Chesterton''' (1874-1936) was a [[British]] [[writer]].
He is known for his fictional works such as the ''Father Brown'' stories, as well as for his non-fiction writings offering an intellectual defense of the [[Christian]] faith. Along with his friend [[Hilaire Belloc]] he is also known for his political viewpoint known as [[distributism]], which opposed both [[communism]] and modern [[capitalism]], and supported a decentralized economy of small property owners and small-scale [[entrepreneur]]s.
Chesterton was a long-time [[Anglican]], but was convinced by Belloc to convert to the [[Catholic Church]].
His most influential Christian books include ''Orthodoxy'', and ''What's Wrong With the World'', which criticize modernist trends such as [[feminism]] and uphold the traditional Christian faith.
