Adventures
in Orthodoxy
"An unusual cover for
an unusual book," is what the publisher
said. This is the favourite of my books. I describe
it as ‘a Chestertonian romp through the Apostles’ Creed.’ Twenty
short chapters on the phrases of the creed. This is not
an exhaustive theological treatise. Instead it is a collection
of surprising views, startling insights and entertaining
comparisons. It argues the case for God and Christian
belief with zest, humour and a touch of satire.Try this
book. Take a risk. I think you’ll enjoy it so much you’ll
be telling your friends.
In this exciting book Longenecker follows in the
imaginative footsteps
of Chesterton
and Lewis. He sees and seizes the thrill of truth
with insights
of pyrotechnic brilliance. He shows us that orthodoxy is dynamic and
thrilling. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

Man and Myth
Here is Catholic Orthodoxy, as heavy as the universe, made to dance like
the universe. Reading this is like coming upon old Augustine dressed up
like St Francis. We may have another Chesterton coming along here!
