The Catholic Herald has a wonderful piece about Joseph Pearce and the role that G.K. Chesterton played in bringing him from the inner circle of the National Front to the Roman Catholic Church.
In solitary he read Cardinal Newman’s Apologia Pro Vita Sua and Ronald Knox’s A Spiritual Aeneid, but most of all it was G K Chesterton who brought him “into the light”, as he recalls, turning him away from what GK called “the solemn fools of Teutonism”.
Pearce has written what might be the most enjoyable and accessible biography of G.K. Chesterton, which may be purchased here.
