Trevin Wax and I are keeping up our conversation about Chesterton’s [*Orthodoxy*](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DEUQ9GW/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00DEUQ9GW&linkCode=as2&tag=mereorth-20&ref=mereorthodoxy.com)*.* We’re bouncing back over to his place this time around, [and I encourage you to chime in with your comments there](http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/trevinwax/2013/08/21/a-discussion-of-the-maniac-and-the-suicide-of-thought-from-g-k-chestertons-orthodoxy/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com).

The previous [discussion on the introduction here at Mere-O](https://mereorthodoxy.com/reading-through-orthodoxy-introduction/) went off fantastically, I thought.

It made me realize yet again just how deeply Chesterton’s outlook has influenced my own work. I found myself resisting the temptation to lead every comment with, “As I say in my book…” I let it go once, and then realized it would become a rather irritating trend. But many of the threads of the conversation did move my thoughts off into that direction, [so if you are reading along with us then I would encourage you to continue on there](http://bit.ly/exploringBOGO?ref=mereorthodoxy.com).

If you haven’t been reading along, though, there is still time to catch up. We’re going slowly, so feel free to dive in part way.
