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 entrepreneurs.
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.
