1. Ortodossia
An energetic personal defense of traditional Christian faith that blends memoir, wit, and philosophical argument to explain how a sense of wonder, humility, and paradox led the writer from skepticism to a coherent, joyful belief; he argues that orthodox doctrines best account for human experience, morality, and the strange, contradictory facts of life, while critiquing materialism, moral relativism, and modern intellectual fashions, and celebrating imagination, common sense, and the sacramental, paradoxical character of true religion.
