This struck me as an odd position for a Christian apologist. I know that if I didn’t see us all as idiots, I might think we all deserved to die—oh, wait.
I’m not sure Chesterson deserves the epithet of apologist. Christian yes… evangelist, of a sort. I see him as a cut above the apologist class of Christian commentators.
I don’t know that “apologist” counts as a natural class, but he definitely produced Christian apologetics. He may have preferred to call them ‘refutations’ of non-Christian or atheist doctrines.
