Chesterton's thesis, as expressed in Part I of the book ('On the Creature Called Man'), is that if a man is really and dispassionately viewed as another animal, one must conclude that he is a bizarrely unusual animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eC. S. Lewis credited The Everlasting Man with \"baptizing\" his intellect, much as George MacDonald's writings had baptized his imagination to make him more than half-converted well before he could bring himself to Christianity. In a 1950 letter to Sheldon Vanauken, Lewis calls the book \"the best popular apologetic I know.\" In 1947, he wrote to Rhonda Bodle: \"the [very] best popular defense of the full Christian position I know is G. K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man.\" The book was also cited by The Christian Century in a list of 10 books that \"most shaped [Lewis'] vocational attitude and philosophy of life.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChesterton wrote around 80 books, several hundred poems, some 200 short stories, 4,000 essays (mostly newspaper columns), and several plays.
