Superstition of Divorce
'Superstition of Divorce' Summary
Gilbert K. Chesterton's 'Superstition of Divorce' presents a forceful argument against the rising tide of divorce in the early 20th century. Written in 1920, the book challenges the growing acceptance of divorce within society, arguing that it undermines the foundation of marriage and creates societal instability. Chesterton, a staunch defender of traditional values, sees divorce as a threat to the family unit and a departure from the enduring moral principles that have shaped Western civilization. He meticulously dismantles the justifications for divorce, highlighting the often-overlooked consequences for individuals, families, and society at large. Drawing on his Christian faith and his keen understanding of human nature, Chesterton presents a passionate plea for the preservation of marriage as a sacred and unbreakable bond.Book Details
