The Everlasting Man by G. K. Chesterton

"The Everlasting Man" is a Christian apologetics book that explores the spiritual journey of mankind, arguing against both evolution and atheism. The author divides human history into two parts: before and after the arrival of Jesus Christ. He presents humanity as a unique creature in the universe, distinct from both animals and angels, and argues that Christianity, rather than being a product of its time, is the central force that shaped Western civilization. The book is a rebuttal to H.G. Wells' "Outline of History," which presented human life and the universe from a secular perspective.
