Synopsis

Chesterton traces the roots of his own Christianity. He was initially a non-believer - 'I was a pagan at the age of twelve and a complete agnostic by the age of sixteen'. Chesterton avidly read lots of anti-Christian literature and decided that if Christianity was wrong 'it was very wrong indeed'. He discusses at length the paradoxes of Christianity - too pessimistic for some and too optimistic for others. He later comes to believe and while he is completely committed to his faith he can understand why others do not. He says he believes quite rationally 'upon the evidence'. He loves his religion because it is a living religion and will continue to teach him.
