His witty, humorous style earned him the title of the \"prince of paradox,\" and his works-80 books and nearly 4,000 essays-remain among the most beloved in the English language\u003cp\u003eHere, in the allegorical 1910 novel, Chesterton gives us the comic adventures of two Scotsmen caught in the grip of a profound argument: one is a devout Roman Catholic, the other an atheist, and their opposing-strongly held-philosophies bring them nearly to blows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHidden under their raging is, however, an exploration of the differences and values of faith and skepticism through which only Chesterton could have led us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Stratus, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015666942192,"sku":"9780755116393","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780755116393_p0.jpg?v=1763635987","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780755116393","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
