This book offers an exploration of the intersection between modern thought and traditional Christianity, using Chesterton's Heretics as a starting point and guide. Though Chesterton is not without his own flaws, He excels at identifying the flaws in others' arguments and striving to offer a truthful alternative. Each chapter consists of introductory questions, a chapter from Heretics, selections from Orthodoxy and Everlasting Man, suggestions for further reading, and some statements for evaluation. For readers who want to explore the ideas that shape the modern world or be introduced to one of the great modern Christian thinkers, Playing with the Truth is a great place to start.
