G. K. Chesterton wrote 'The Everlasting Man' as a Christian apologetics work. It is a rebuttal to H. G. Wells’ 'The Outline of History,' which questions Wells’ representations of human life, civilization, and Jesus Christ. Chesterton’s work depicts humanity’s spiritual path, with a concentration on Western civilization. The work is divided into two halves, 'On the Creature Called Man' and 'On the Man Called Christ.' In the first section, Chesterton contends that humans are fundamentally different from other creatures. In the second half, he argues that Jesus and Christianity go beyond mere human leadership and religion, emphasizing their miraculous and unusual nature. C. S. Lewis commended 'The Everlasting Man' with influencing his intellectual conversion to Christianity, calling it the best popular argument he knew. The book had a tremendous impact on Christian theology and apologetics, offering a persuasive case for Christianity’s long-term significance and uniqueness in the face of modern skepticism.
